I have been using my Firenze card to see the sights of Florence for the last two days, today makes three and that's the total. The problem has been that with repairs and UNESCO in town, many places are closed for a day or two and that makes my card a lot less useable. The Duomo Museum is closed until next fall.
The one big bright spot was the recommendation to go to the Museo Accademia Friday night after seven. The day rush had been cleared out and I went to dinner and strolled over there about 7:30 and there were about a dozen other people there. No one! I walked into the museum and went to the hall for David, turned the corner and there he was at the end of the hall and no one between us. What a spectacular sight. It was amazing to view this statue that we have heard about and seen photos of and video about, but nothing prepares you for the actual sight. To be there virtually alone to view the statue at your leisure, walk around it as often as you like and not have someone bump you out of the way or get in your frame.
Here you go:
Got to go and see some more sights, but it will be hard to match this one.
Ciao
