** HISTORICAL POST** Been sitting in draft for months...
The day started by sleeping in a little. We had breakfast at the lounge overlooking the city. We took the shuttle to the metro station at Piazza Barbarini them took the metro to Roma Termini. We ended up making a reservation on the Eurostar train for €15 each. The ride to Florence was quick and comfortable. Once we arrived, we walked from the station across town to the hotel. When we found it (Hotel Bavaria) we discovered that we had to climb up 2 long flights of stairs to reach the lobby, them another flight to the room. We later counted about 90 steps from the street to the room. After we stopped sweating, we headed back out to see some of Florence. We made our way around the famous duomo and up to the Galeria de Academia where the famous sculpture of David stands in all his glory. The rest of the gallery has some interesting icons and a collection of plaster works used as models for other works of art. We walked back toward the hotel and had dinner at a restaurant near the duomo. The food was okay, but nothing special.
