On our final day in Florence Nick wanted to see the football (soccer) stadium. We took a taxi to the other end of town to check it out. When the taxi pulled up, it was a small Prius...The driver hopped out of the car and popped up a 3rd row of seats in the hatchback area. Prius's in the states don't do that! Nick climbed into that seat and we were off!
A little later we toured the Florence Cathedral, the Duomo and the catacombs under the cathedral, the Uffizi art museum, and the bell tower, Giottos Campanile. It was a full afternoon!
After all of that Eric and I found a sidewalk cafe and enjoyed a spritz while the boys did a little shopping. We all met up for dinner at a local place that our food tour guide suggested. It was so good! Afterwards the boys went exploring and Eric and I wandered back home and stopped for a drink along the way.
The next morning we boarded the train for Venice! Nick is standing by our front door.
The train station was a little nutty! We would wait to hear which platform our train was coming in on and then rush to the platform once it was announced, along with everyone else!
