The flight didn't take too long. We landed in Florence after 3 hours. I got the train to the city's centre. I stopped at Piazza Santa Maria Novella. My apartment is 10 minutes by foot from there. 

Fast forward

Ι sorted out my clothes, books etc. , and put them in their places. I took a bath and after that went to bed. My schedule for tomorrow will be packed. 

The next morning 

I got up early drenched in sweat because of last's night nightmare. It was the same. I was walking through a dark corridor when I suddenly saw HIM. He said the same words except for one sentence "Υour time is over. Soon we'll finally meet". That was his last words while looking at me with the most terrifying smile on his face. I tried to decode his words but I couldn't find any logic in it. 

I got dressed and decided to take breakfast in the historic centre. I sat at a vintage café next to Duomo in Piazza Del Duomo. I enjoyed my pancakes while reading a guide. After that I visited the Duomo, I was so mesmerized by the beauty and elegance of its inside and the view from the church's top was breathtaking.

The next place I'm going to visit is Galleria del Uffizi

I saw every painting and sculpture, I walked through the corridors above Ponte Veggio's bridge

It was time to return home. 

The next morning 

I continued visiting other museums, galleries, palaces and small vintage bookstores. Walking through the small cobblestoned roads made me feel like I was back at time in the renaissance era when Medici ruled the area. 

Tomorrow the fairytale would continue as I was going to visit Montepulciano, the small historic village where some scenes of Twilight New Moon were filmed. It will be a dream coming true since I was a kid.
