Despite what the tour info said, we don’t actually stay in Florence… We stay in a place called Prato, about 45mins drive from Florence (Firenze, as they write it).

The coffee served at the hotel breakfast in Prato is damn strong… 1 part coffee to 2 parts milk is still pretty damn strong according to the regular coffee drinkers.

We had a local guide for florence, who spent about an hour talking to us about the various works of art on display, the history of florence, etc.

Most of the afternoon was spent queueing to see the statue of david.

Very impressive work of art, an amazing amount of detail is in it… From the way veins are shown in the neck, arms and legs, though to the dimple in his ass-cheek (thanks Sarah and Belinda for pointing that one out)

Michellangello must have worked on it like a galley slave to get it done in 3 years.

Last night of my organised tour, so I’ll be all on my lonesome once I get off the bus in Rome. Partly thankful it’s over, partly wanting to continue on.
