Sun 2014/09/21

Day 4
20,824 steps
walked 16.034 km
burned 939.0 kcal

Four day total of 73 km with a daily average over of 18 km!


After breakfast, off we go to Stazione di Roma Termini (Roma Termini railway station) to catch the train to Florence.

By the way, I understand the term "terminal" to reflect train and bus terminals comes from the name of this station!








And after a brief one and a half hour ride, we arrive at Florence and check into our hotel, the NH Collection Firenze Porta Rossa.






First order of business, food naturally.

And what better for my first meal then the famous Bistecca alla fiorentina or 'beefsteak Florentine style'!

Lungarno Bistrot

This was awesome! Lovely patio, friendly staff, great wine, and one of the tastiest steaks I have ever had!


And of course what better to follow a great Florentine meal than with a nice healthy dollop of gelato!




Day 4 continues ...
