Through Jenny’s niece’s arrangement we had a private shuttle to take us to tour Pisa to see the famous Pisa Leaning Tower, and then drop us in the city center of Florence.
The 1st place we visited is the Ponte Vecchio which spans the Arno River and filled with shops with jewelry and gold.
Then we visited Piazza della Signoria, the heart of political life in Florence. In the square are a monument to Cosimo di Medici and the Fountain of Neptune. It served as the government center for the city.
Then we visited Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Flore) and Campanile (the Bell Tower).
We also visited the Pitti Palace. However, it requires 8 euro for entrance. Judging by the outside and the time constraint, we did not go in. We just see the outside and took some pictures and have lunch picnic on the front court.
Afternoon was shopping time and quite a few success shopping stories.
This evening we had a special event of supporting Victor and John in their Karaoke contest. Both of them did a wonderful job. They were the hits of the night.
