Looked around Florence today. Went to the Basilica di Santa Maria Novella and the Basilica di San Lorenzo on our way to see David. Had to wait for about an hour to get in to see the statute of David at the Galleria dell’Accedemia but was quite eventful when an undercover sting went down to catch all the locals selling fake paintings. One guy stashed all of his in a bin and another under a stall which Danielle kindly helped the police officer find. The were very grateful (the police that is).

Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures of the real David but we got some of the copy which is in Piazza della Signoria.

We then headed to the Cattedral di Santa Maria del Fiore which is famous for its candy stripes of green and pink marble. It was very different to the others we have seen.

Last night in Florence tonight then off to Roma tomorrow morning!
