Florence was our third stop from the Mediterranean Cruise by Royal Caribbean (Allure of the Seas). It was only one day that we were there, as our schedule will allow, but it was definitely a jampacked day.

Our first stop was the Florence Cathedral which is one of the most majestic churches that I’ve seen.  The fascinating thing is that it is made out of marble. It is also known/called as the The Duomo and Santa Croce. It is so vast! Too bad, we didn’t have enough time to go inside anymore.

Our second stop – LUNCH!  Tasting the authentic italian pasta and their gelato!  We ate at this pizza/pasta place called “Cucina Torcicoda” Torcicoda is a flavor of their gelato and it is one of their specialties.  The food there was also absolutely divine, especially their gelato! You should try it when you’re in Florence. You may visit the restaurant’s site here:

I tried the Torcicoda flavored gelao and it is really yummy!

The authentic Italian Pappardelle pasta with Ragu sauce is also really good.

 

Third stop – Leaning Tower of Pisa. The highlight of the day is finally seeing the infamous “Leaning Tower of Pisa” and having some hot guy take my photo! HAHA             I don’t have a photo of the hot guy but they certainly looked like pro-bikers that travel a lot.

Up next my 2015 Bday Celebration in Amalfi Coast, Italy!
