Florence 16th-19th sept

Ah Florence the home of Michelangelo’s David. We had to queue for an hour and a half at the Galeria Del Acadamia to see the statue, and we weren’t allowed to take any photos. (A better option might be to go to Piaza de Signora and see all the copies of famous statues for free.) although is was good to see a few of the unfinished states to see how they were made.
We had a nice wander around the city over a few days and soaked in all the culture.

On Thursday we went to an exhibit of `Leonardo da Vinci which was brilliant as they had made a lot of his inventions and they were very hands on so you could try them out and see how they worked.

While wandering around we also saw the coolest knife-block. (unfortunately it cost €300 so we couln’t buy it)

We also saw one of the pest street performers I have ever seen, he really did look like a statue and being in Florence he didn’t look out of place.
