Today was another day of exploring this wonderful city .

The sun was out, the sky was blue, there was a buzz coming from the multitude of tourists that are still here enjoying all that Florence has to offer .

Today I really started to appreciate the diversity of this city . I took in the delights of small churches quickly followed by modern art exhibits, famous landmarks followed by jazz musicians . At every turn there is something different to appreciate .

After my 14km wander, I felt it necessary to sit for a while and sip a nice cool beer and take in the surroundings of my favourite piazza in Florence Piazza di Santa Croce . I’m not sure what it is about this square that appeals to me, probably it’s because it’s never quite as busy as the Piazza del Duomo . You can usually find a seat somewhere to drink in the atmosphere and people watch, which I duly did with my nice medium size beer . I had originally asked for a large but the waitress kindly advised me that their large was a litre, even for me that is a little big .
