Florence is such a beautiful city and it was a nice change after Rome. We only spent half a day in Florence but we managed to do and see everything we wanted in that time. We started off going to the Duomo (church) and Greg climbed to the roof while I explored a much older church which was discovered under the Duomo. We also went to the Ponte Vecchio (famous bridge), Palazzo Vecchio (palace) and saw lots of statues .
I'd never seen Michaelanglo's David before and we were going to skip it. But we needed to kill some time and I thought that maybe i should go take a look. I'd seen the replica of the David in a square in Florence, which i thought would be pretty accurate. And also I'd seem the Mona Lisa in the Paris Lourve, which i don't think is worth all the fuss but there are always crowds of people around it! So i expected David to be the same. But I was totally amazed at how beautiful it is!! It is absolutely breathtaking. It is so much bigger and detailed and impressive than i thought it would be. So if you ever go to Florence, you must go see David!!
Venice update next.

The Mona Lisa is famous (albeit it being smaller than you think) because De Vinci said it was his best work ever and he carried it around with him till he died. So if the master likes it, who am I to contradict?
'David' sounds marvellous.
