Florence

[erilyn]

Florence is lovely, apart from thunderstorms when we're trying to enjoy the Boboli Gardens :) Been to the Duomo, Duomo museum, Baptistry, Uffizi Gallery (glad we booked for that, avoided the long queues), Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, Boboli Gardens, Museo Bargello, Basicila de Sante Croce, Basilica de Sante Maria Nouvelle. And yes, my feet hurt :) Tomorrow we're going up to a lookout over city, then the Galleria dell Academie, and then we'll wander and take photos of some of the nice squares and windy little streets we've been through over the past few days. Picking up a car on Friday morning for 6 days, to drive about Tuscany and Umbria a bit.

Ooo lots of photos!

Heh, actually, there probably won't be an over-abundance of photos. We've been quite restrained so far, and today only took photos when we were up at the lookout. Spent longer getting there, and sitting there, than we planned, so went straight to Accademia (where Michelangelo's "David" is displayed). Sam didn't feel so well, so we didn't stay too long (not that there was much to see apart from David and the unfinished Slaves, bit of a ripoff really). We've done bugger else today, which is a nice rest, and I wasn't feeling too crash hot myself. Gonna go buy some postcards to make up for lack of own pictures :)
