So it's a little late, but over Easter I went on a jaunt to Florence with my mum and dad, to celebrate their 65th birthdays. And we packed a lot in! Besides the usual visits to the Uffizi and the Duomo, we explored as many of the little steets and vast plazas as we could, finally venturing across the river to the beautiful Giardino di Boboli, a place Ben and I didn't get to on our previous visit.

We stayed in the NH Anglo-American hotel, set a little outside the main tourist area of Florence. Although it is a 15 minute walk into the central areas of Florence, it's an easy walk and you can either ramble through the streets, or take the path by the river. 

Dad and I also braved the heights of the Duomo cupola, climbing 400-odd steps to reach the top - but it was worth it! The views across Florence are quite breathtaking!

I'll add more details later, but for now, have a look at the rest of the photos linked below. Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday.
