It poured almost without respite. Luckily, there were friendly locals that just happened to have umbrellas they were willing to sell to a bus-load of tourists. Alas, I miscalculated the times of the tours inside the tower, so I wasn't able to enter or climb inside it. But I did get to climb on the exterior wall of the square and explore the basilica and the baptistry. Back to Florence for an afternoon of wandering and shopping.
