Last day in Venice

We took a boat taxi across the Grand Canal to see what else Venice has to offer. It was more of the same, but the beauty of the canal and the architecture made up for it. We went by Peggy Guggenheim Collection and then strolled the city until nightfall. Venice was a wonderful city.

Ooooh Venice

After three excruciating days in Florence, we took a train ride to Venice. On our way there, we had to deal with some Spanish teenagers who were causing a ruckus on the train. Finally, in Venice we settled in to our hotel room, explored the city, and got hailed on. Golf ball sized hail is something you do not want to get hit by. After the hail settled, we took a night stroll and saw the true beauty of Venice at night.

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.
