day 7

Breakfast at hotel and then we walked over to Baptistry for our tour time. Definitely the nicest of the three buildings. Heard guy singing, perfect acoustics. Toured Duomo. It's very lovely, but some weird craftsmanship issues. Then we wandered around Pisa. Checked out and got a sandwich before heading to train station, took cab this time. Short train ride to Florence. Private driver met us there. Got to hotel. Very nice accommodations right on the river Arno. We got settled in and then ventured out to explore. Hiked over to pizzale Michelangelo. Hiked up to Abbazia di San Miniato al Monte. Even more amazing views. Then we did a super long walk to up past fort belvedere and into the boboli gardens. Incredible hike through gardens. Then we came out palazzo pitti and into the Basilica di Santo Spirito by Brunelleschi. Tried to get gelato, very long line. Came back to hotel and freshened up for dinner. Pretty good dinner, nice steak. 

Walked around the Duomo. Went to the Irish pub, gelato and finally to hotel. Long exhausting day but so amazing too.
