Florence

The past couple of weeks, Sean and I have been travelling and visiting Paris, Venice and Florence. We spent a week in Paris and then a week in Italy, spending 2 days in Venice and then 4 days in Florence. While we were in Florence, we did a couple of tours, one being a wine tour and the other being a hike. The wine tour was of an area in Italy called the Chianti. It is between Florence and La Sienna and is really pretty. Sean and I learned how to properly drink and smell wine. We also visited a cute little town up on a hill in the Chianti where we had a great view of Tuscany and the Chianti area.
The hike that we did was in an area called Cinque Terre. It is on the east coast of Italy and is absolutely gorgeous. This hike is through 5 little towns that are built on cliffs near the water. Sean and I did the whole hike and were really tired at the end of it. It is a 9km hike but half of the time you are climbing sharp inclines. It was absolutely gorgeous. We woke up at 6am and got home around 12:30am so it was a long day but well worth it.
One day, we spent touring around Florence and went to see Michelangelo’s David (which was amazing) the statue is huge. We also climbed the duomo (which is the dome of the cathedrale in Florence). There were 463 stairs or something like that and we were up pretty high. We also walked around the city a little bit and enjoying the little piazzas that you randomly come across.
