Florence - Italy

With our hard earned euros we headed to Italy, first stop Florence. It was a whole day on the train, and not the best thing to do after a night out drinking, but we made it.
The Ponte Veccio, aparently the only bridge to survive WW2. Not as pretty as I would have thought. Use to be butchers shops, but now is full of jewellery shops.

Not too sure who this guy is, but he looks pretty mean with the clouds like that behind him!

The Duomo, which was packed with toursits. There are actually heaps of Aussies in Florence at the moment, we cannot escape them!

This is us...with a nice backdrop taken from the Ponte Veccio.

We bumped into Michelangelos statue of David...

Here is another view of him. He is actually a lot bigger than I had imagined.

Basilica di Santa Croce.

We will stay in Florence for a few days, and make a day trip out to Pisa before heading to Roma!

Just like we remember it.

David is a big fellow isnt he.
