On into Belgium, and towards scores of turning windmills against vast expanses of sky we arrive in Holland and friendly Amsterdam.

(Continental breakfast) | | Day 12 | Florence | The only way to really visit this city is with a local guide on foot! Highlights are the marble Duomo, Piazza Signoria with its many sculptures and of course the Basilica of Santa Croce, where so many of Italy's heroes are buried.
