L.A. MINI Tours Florence, Italy

The MINI in the historic Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy

Ok folks, I think I've got a good one for you today. We just returned from an early morning drive around central Florence... just about the only time this part of the city isn't choked with visitors from all over the globe. I was able to get into normally auto-unfriendly areas to take some pictures and Jennifer shot video as well. After breakfast I edited the video clips and have uploaded a pretty good impression of this historic city.

Enjoy!

Pondering the new Fiat 500 in the Galleria degli Uffizi


Today was our first full day in Florence. We decided to leave the car at the hotel and take the bus into downtown in order to get a better feel for the city centre. We took in the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, Piazza della Repubblica, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Galleria degli Uffizi. I will try to get out early in the morning with the MINI to try to get a few pictures of the car in front of some of Florence's famous sites before the piazzas become crowded with visitors.
