Active Vacationing is Fun!.. But Kind of Tiring Too

Wow am i sore and exhausted! These past two days have been our most active of the entire 2 week vacation! Yesterday we walked up to the very top of the Duomo tower, which is one of the most famous churches in all of Italy. Our journey was over 400 steps to get the top! You can see the end results in the video I posted below, and the size of the tower in the slideshow above.
Today was my favorite day in Italy. We were lucky enough to go on this incredible 25 mile bike ride into the Tuscan Countryside! It was so beautiful... and to top it off, when we reached our endpoint in the countryside we were given a wine tour of Tuscany's famous Chianti wine. We got to try two of the most popular wines they make and bottle there, and we were also served an excellent home cooked Italian meal! I felt so incredibly spoiled! On the way back, the sun decided to disappear on us and it became muddy and rainy so we stopped half way for some great Cappuccinos! If you ever go to Florence I HIGHLY recommend this tour to you! It was by a company called "Florence by Bike".
According to my Dad we have walked on average 8 miles per day, which means that by the end of this trip we will have walked a total of 112 miles all together! Now that's a lot of walking! Unfortunately our journey is just about over. : ( Tomorrow we take the train back to Venice and the following day our plane leaves. It has been an amazing vacation and definitely exceeded my expectations by far! I am looking forward to coming home though! I can't wait to see everyone!
