Last day in Florence

After all the sight seeing and bike riding we decided to take it easy on our last day. We planned one last stroll through the city and filled it with a few stops which did not required any admissions.

Tuscany Bike Tours, best thing in Florence

After hearing about how awesome bike tours in the hills of Tuscany are, Mon and I did our research and signed up back in May. On our second day in Florence, we went on the amazing Tuscany Bike Tours. At 10AM we met up in the south part of the city. We took an hour long ride further south. There we tasted wine, explored the castle where its made, and then it was time for the bike ride. It was a bit hot outside, but there were a few breezes that kept us cool. The views from the hills were fantastic, the wine was great, and we had an amazing time. If you ever end up in Florence, this should be the first thing on your to-do list.

Fiesole, Tuscany

For our second night in Florence, we took a bus outside the city to a little place called Fiesole. The little town is on a hill and overlooks Florence. We climbed a very steep hill and were awarded with an spectacular view. While up there, we splurged on a fancy dinner, watched the sunset, and hung out to see the city at night.

Florance, Italy

We left Pisa in the afternoon and barely made it to Florence given our sleep deprecation. After taking a much needed nap, we went to explore for a little bit. The next day we went to the Uffizi Museum and saw a bit more of Florance. Unfortunately we did a lot of walking and it was ridiculously hot. Lucky for us, our hostel was pretty nice.
