Day 12: April 1, 2024
This morning we had a blast on a guided tour with our local guide, Silvia! She took us around Florence and shared so many fascinating tidbits. Then, our tour leader led us to the Porcellino fountain (actually a wild boar), where rubbing its nose is said to bring good luck! Lunch was at the Central Market, offering a wide array of Tuscan dishes and international specialties. Someone was brave enough to try the lampredotto! After lunch, we split up; some climbed the Duomo's dome and explored the Uffizi gallery, while others opted to wander and soak in the city's charm. Dinner was pizza, of course! Now, back at the hotel, we're packing up for the next leg of our adventure: Rome!
