First stop: Florence / Firenze, Italy. p2

If you visit Italy, you must go to Florence.
 We loved walking through the streets feeling like we was brought back to the "Florentine Renaissance". Some of the things we we're amazed by was the renaissance architecture and art, that warm italian/tuscan vibe, the authentic tasty italian food and vine, the extreme heat and the sun yellow housefacades. 
We stayed there 3 days and took us good time to experience.. and I we def. fell a little in love with Firenze's atmosphere.  








We had to stop and rest, and drink 1l of water every other 30min, due to the massive August heat! The best way to describe it was like an hairdryer blowing right in your face trying to melt it. I would always prefer to visit Firenze in april or may where the temperature doesn't bring you in to boil and the sky won't be grey because of the hovering smog.
I will never learn to like 50 degrees inside a city, that has no ocean. Both Mie and I found out that we could never settle down far from the ocean..  



Italy is nothing less but a food heaven. Everything you find here tastes so good. 
The fact that we bought this for 4eur at the market and ate it in an olivegrove made it all taste even better..

First stop: Florence / Firenze, Italy. p1.


So as some of you already know, in August I've been interrailing in South Europe with my dear, dear guurl friend Mie. We decided to go straight to Florence from CPH, and that took us a little less than 24h. A long way, but we enjoyed it because we were prepared with a big load of patience. 
Florence is therefore our first stop and also the first entry on the blog from the trip, more will follow:) 
I took so many pictures during the whole trip, and since I'm a photo-blog-newbie I'm having a hard time deciding what pictures that goes up or not... Takes practice to be hardcore critical. 
Here goes a selection of snaps from the OH-so-amazing italian city, Firenze. 

I visited Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore - Duomo de Firenze, when I was a child and that memory stood clear in my mind. Such a beautiful creation. Since Mie haven't seen it, we just HAD to go. 
and we went there together with thousands of other tourists..   










Even though Firenze is full of tourists, and that includes us, we still enjoyed the city really much - The following Florence / Firenze, Italy pt 2. will bring you across the water inside Firenze and I'll be writing a few words about the atmosphere and how it feels to be grilled in 50 degrees!
