My friend really wanted to go to Venice, while we were in Italy. But because of lack of money we went to Florence instead. A whole day spent in a city full of renaissance art and architecture.
The Arno river was one of the main attractions that was quite interesting to look at.
At one of the stands I saw a little bird just sitting on their products, letting me take some pictures of it.
Also we saw a different kind of decorated hotel with white-reddish fans on and outside the building. We only found it because it was right next to the river.
And around the whole city they had signs like this with small black figures on them. They even had a shop that sold them.
After all I was still impressed by Florence, even if I am not a big fan of culture or architecture.
This short trip up north showed me new different things, enjoying a loong walk around. :)
