Before I leave for this biking trip,my friend back in Malaysia who has visited Florence,told me that I should make a stop here,but short of telling me what are the attractions are. So I will know by today. Yesterday's 104 km ride still recovering from the tireness, I slept until 9 am and only able to start the city tour with Ivan/Annie at 11.30am. It is a very hot day,8km to the centro.Just like Pisa,Florence is separated by the same river Arno or " Fiume Arno " with at least 7-8 bridges connecting both sides, Here you won't find any big shopping complex,high rise buildings, what you see are those very old historicalbuildings,Thethers,Museums,Art Galleries and Human sculptures.So if you are a lover of arts,this is a place for you. Street musicians and artists can be seen at every corner.
