From Pisa we carried onto Florence. We found an amazing camp ground on the hills above the city, shrouded in olive trees... again (10 mins walk from the city centre). Spent two nights here and sampled some of the art and culture that the city had to offer. Managed to check out some of Michelangelo, De Vinchi & Botticelli's original works in the city Uffizi Gallery. Lots of gelato, and family owned pizza/pasta restaurants. Also where most of the big name fashion labels began i.e Gucci, Armani, Prada, D & G etc..

Rubbing the nose is supposed to give good luck.
