Florence

Florence was just a 40mins bus ride away from the site a Troghi, so very handy and cheaper than the in city site! We spent just 2 days in Florence but even a week would not have been enough. Although everything is quite close together and within walking distance there is just so much to see. We managed the Duomo (better on the outside than inside) its gold fresco'ed babtistry (vice versa), the Pita Palace (now seen enough 'Madonna with Child' from every known old master), San Groce (everyone who has been anyone is buried here - from Galileo, to Dante to Michel Angelo) and the Academia. The latter has the original David sculptured in marble by Michel Angelo, its 17ft high and absolutely stunning.
