Firenze - 1

For a long time I've wanted to visit this city (I will call it by its Italian name, Firenze, rather than Florence since Koreans call it Firenze as well).

I'm staying in a cheap, but comfortable in a basic way, hotel around the corner from the main train station and from Santa Maria Novella. It is a room with a view although if you want to look out the windows you need to stand in the corner and open the shutters. But it is a stunning view of San Lorenzo in front of the Duomo.

From my room with a view - the large dome in the foreground is San Lorenzo - behind that is the Duomo - you can see the bell tower and part of its dome.

Across the Arno at sunset - looking to San Frediano

Santa Maria Novella - the Dominican basilica

You want to buy your own statue? This shop is full of them.

Tomorrow is an art marathon - the Uffizi.
