Florence

The city with a Smell

Ok Im not kidding but as soon as u enter Florence the city smells like a bathroom. The streets are narrow and the smell is disgusting. I got to see the Piazza santa croce, the piazza signoria, the palazzo vecchio and its courtyard, the loggia dei lanzi and like another 40 old building. Took pics of most. SO someone will have to help me decide whats what when I return home.

Florence was apparently known to be a good shopping destination. I went to a leather factory. The jackets were overly priced. I figured I can buy 3 in Turkey for that price.So the leather factory did me no good.

Did another local guide tour. Another bloody waste of time. The woman spent years explaining the history of a building for 2hours. I ended up breaking away from the tour to continue shopping and sighseeing on my own...
