Italy Day 4 - Piazzale Michaelangelo

We decided to cross the Arno River and hike up to Michaelangelo Park to check out the view of Florence. We got halfway up the hill and encountered some steps.

Not much further now. We heard that it's quicker to walk up than take the bus because you can walk straight up and the bus has to zig-zag back and forth. Not so sure I see the value in that approach now that I'm halfway up the hill.


But, ah, the view is worth it.


And it's not just a postcard. Here's the record shot showing we are really here!


And on the way back down we ran into this Italian cat. It has a very strange way of meowing, but we're pretty sure it said "meow" in Italian.
