We started our trip out with a great flight over to Pisa, Italy. We got to sit in business class and had all of the wonderful amenities associated with that. We got a cooked dinner, seats that folded out into a bed, down blankets, noise canceling head phones, a personal TV and much more.
When we arrived in Pisa, we found customs and they stamped our passport in less than 5 minutes. Then we headed to the train ticket counter and got our tickets to Florence. We ended up getting off a stop early, but then jumped on another train in about 5 minutes to the right station.
We bought a map at the train station of Florence and found our hotel in no time. Our hotel is next to the train station and the lady that runs the place, Minola, is so nice!
We took showers and headed out to explore Florence. This city is so amazing and has gorgeous views of the Tuscany region. We had to find the place that we are taking bike tour for tomorrow and stopped at a few places on the way. We saw the famous Duomo cathedral- it is so neat! Then we found a couple markets to walk through.
We ended our day with a a couple glasses of wine at the top of a department store that overlooked the whole city.
For dinner, we got a pizza, bruschetta, and salad at a non-touristy place. The food was fresh and very tasty.
Tomorrow we have an all day bike tour through the wineries and Tuscan region! Here are a few pics from today:

This is the river that runs in Florence. Look at the background of Tuscany Region!
We found a small cafe at the top of a department store that overlooked the whole city. This city is amazing!
