Florence is only about two hours by train away from Perugia. So we took the opportunity to go there for a day trip. We had bough the tickets a day earlier but the machine had not printed all of them due to a malfunction - so we carried a note from the station master explaining the situation.
The train left on time
Our first stop was the duomo where it was very crowded and there were long lines for the visitors who wanted to get in
The building was very impressive and with the white and green stones different than any other church we had seen before
Mia noticed some Italian luxury cars - this Ferrari seemed to belong to the owner of a local pizzeria:
The famous covered bridge Ponte Veccio
Since it was quite hot and really crowded we decided to leave early and head back to Perugia
But because of a very heavy and violent thunderstorm that knocked over trees our train got stranded in Terentola and it was an adventure to be able to get back to Perugia from there by taxi cab. It was also quite expensive- but we were happy to be able to have made it back
