And so to Florence. This was the view from our hotel window.
Plenty of time for wandering around and seeing the sights. We were a few minutes away from the Duomo, the Uffizi gallery and the Ponte Vecchio.The weather was perfect, the tourist numbers small, the food and wine superb and the occasional ice cream brilliant.
The Duomo was encased in marble and quite stunning. The view from the top of the dome was worth the climb up.
David was impressive in the Piazza della Signiorinha - this was the copy but we saw the original in the Accademia.
The Uffizi gallery was so good we went twice. Paula came across this handsome fellow in the Palazzo Vecchio.
We had a 5 hour lunch with Mary, one of my colleagues from Wesley hospital, and her husband Steve. This is what holidays are all about!
We also managed a day trip to Siena and San Gimignano. Worth seeing but being pert of a guided tour is no picnic.
