Oct 15th: Florence2

This visit was devoted to the Uffizi Galley. The tickets were bookable on line at a large premium, but we didn’t have to queue. The gallery itself was stunning: Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael etc.- and they were just the cloakroom attendants! Everything was larger than life, including the price of the coffee at €4.50 each (£4), but a total experience not to be missed.


Photos are unsurprisingly not allowed in the museum itself but from a window between the rooms you could take a good view of the Ponte Vecchio. The lower photo is taken from the coffee shop terrace, over the rooftops of central Florence- a shot worth all of €9?
