Our second day in Venice, we planned a day trip to Florence. We woke up early, as we usually do, and made the walk to our train. We stopped by San Marcos square first and it was our first time getting to see the city during the day. We got lost on a different part of the city.
We really got a chance to see the canals and alleys, and each turn offers its own unique views of the city. We grabbed a quick sandwich at the train station and then took the 2-hour train ride to Florence.
We spent the next few hours literally walking all around the city. We like history, but we aren't the biggest history buffs. Seeing the monuments, cathedrals, statues, and museums from the outside were good enough for us - especially with the lines that is required to get in most.
We enjoyed seeing all of the cool views. One of the toughest but most rewarding things we did was travel up to the top of the hill across the river to get a good view of the entire city. When we got to the top, there was a group of women running together and having some kind of celebration at the top.
On our walk down, we tried to walk through as many streets and alleys as we could, and we felt like we saw the entire city before getting on the train to head back. When we got to Florence, we ate a really cool sandwich spot that was highly recommended and when we left we got a quick bite from McDonald's.
When we got back to Venice, we changed and went to go eat and get lost in the city again. We were tired from all of the walking, so it was an early night for us.
