| Florence and Fiesole, Italy (Firenze e Fiesole, Italia) |
|---|
| The city of Florence has enough attractions to keep anyone happy, especially if you like standing in a queue! If you want to get away from the humidity and bustle, take a bus ride from the bus station to the town of Fiesole. It's up in the hills and there's a very nice restaurant right on the main square, not to mention some fantastic views across Florence if the weather is clear. |

| The Ponte Vecchio This was the only bridge that the retreating Germans didn't destroy in World War II |
Another bridge towards the west of Florence | Pescaia Santa Rosa. Originally a weir to supply constant water to mills which lined the river | Much of the cathedral (Il Duomo) was shrouded in scaffold and tarpaulin when I was there, this was a clear bit |
More to come when I get them scanned.
