Florence / Pisa (Livorno), Italy

Cruise Day 20
From the port city of Livorno, the riches of this remarkable region are revealed. A trip to Florence, with a stop at the leaning Tower of Pisa en route, provides some unforgettable experiences, including the Piazza del Duomo with its grand cathedral. Florence is home to the fascinating art treasures of the Italian Renaissance -- works by Botticelli, Da Vinci and Michelangelo. A highlight is a visit to the Accademia Gallery, which houses Michelangelo's famous statue of David. Language: Italian Currency: Euro

Scott and Pamela Schiep of Las Vegas are wonderful, I am sitting waiting to take photos of our departure from Liverno harbor and this kind lady sees my cane and oxygen unit. She comes over and ask if she could get me something to eat or drink. A conversation ensued and we talked about many things. To me it is the most likable thing about traveling is the meeting and conversations with these people.
The Maybe ship is a ferry based in Naples.
