Florence, an art city

For me from the very begining Frolence was one of the most important place, because, as you may know, there is the biggest collection of renaissance art in the world, and im a crazy fan of italian art of that period (do you remember Giotto and Cenacolo Vinciano&XD).

I planed to stay there 8 days, not be in a rash and to se everything. And how happy i was when i found out that Suzie and Wyni were going to stay there totally the same dates! Yay! To Florence i arrived from Bologna (i made way Bologna-Florence 5 times in a week) and i met my host right at the tain station. This guy took me to the very cool place right next to Florence: very small village, situated on hills, and fro there you can see all Florence like it is a toy-city - really beautiful! But to get this view you have to climb hills, after what you dont really care about anything)
Piazza Michelangelo

After that i met my girls, they showed me city a bit, we went to the Piazza Michelangelo, from where we enjoyed sunset and copy of David) After my host offered all of us to go to some loop music festival (i dot give a shit, what kind of music it is)), i didnt really care about music, but i cared about bar there, because in some places in italy you can eat as much snacks as you can if you buy at least one drink XD

amazing gelato place
Next day we went to Duomo, so we looked very covered) Well, as it happened with Milan's Duomo, this one inside was much less beautiful then from outside. Than we met Wyni's friend Enrico, had nice lunch (raviolly with truffles is in my hart for ever) and also we had some red wine, after what Enrico took us for a walk around. But wine and walking killed us, so we couldnt help taking a nap, and we didnt have any other place but banches in the park XD But after nap near this park we found an amazing place with home made gelato - Via de' Bardi right infront of the strange monument (remember this place, you will say me "thankyou" after visiting it). This evening we also visited nice bar called Amadeus, where nice waiter offered us some free drinks - i love this country)

Flo'!
Next two days we visited famous Uffici and Academia galleries, that are definitiely worth visiting, and than came our last night together. We all wanted to go out, but Wyni wanted to meet friend of her friend in some god damn place that was so hard to find... Buuuut, this person was a waiter there, sure he offered us some free food and drinks and also presented us to the owner of that place who after some time took us to themost famous Florence's night club "Flo'". We got a bit drunk there and wanted to go home, but that place was so far, so we stoped some car and asked to drive us to the city center XD But it was too early for my train and girls' bus, so we just felt asleep on the floar at the train station (familiar situation XD)

Actually we also did something that was totally my idea. As some of you know Im Harry Potter fan, and of course i couldnt miss the last part of it that came ouy that summer. But in italy they have lack of english-speaking cinemas, so i use opportunity and drugged girls to watch it with me. I almosr cried, they enjoy english language all around XD

Next day my girls left and i stayed in Florence one more night, after which i went to Castiglion Fiorentino...
