Last time Rachel was in Florence she was accompanied by 26 St Mary's College students. It was nice for Rachel to finally see this city on her own terms and at a lazy pace. Who thought she would next return with husband and child in tow, five years later. We drove to Piazza Michaelangelo that overlooks this spectacular city and parked up the car for the day, the drive in wasn't too traumatic despite the warning of the crazy traffic. The GPS in the car was a good send again, makes travelling around so easy, Andrew took some fantastic panoramic shots of Florence. We then walked down into the main tourist area. Hoards of tourists!!
Anyway we toured around the usual spots including the Ufizzi Museum, the Cathedral and down and across the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. We didn't spend any time in the galleries, and will save it all till next time when it will be a bit easier. Reckon it would be nice to come during one of the quieter months and wander around and stay in the city.
