Florance (the edited version)

Its 10:10 and a litre of wine later at the moment in Florance. The city itself was amasing. We spent a full day walking the streets visiting not only the touristy sites but also the local streets and really taking in the city. Our first stop was this old fort at the north of the city which was nothing like any of the castles I have seen so far. From there we had only been in the city for 30min when I was giving some Americans directions. Its funny how many people are English speaking in Italy. Americans and Austrailians seem to be everywhere. Following that we went to the museuam that has the statue of Michalangelo's David. Well it is far more impressive in person than any of the photos. It must be about 18 or so ft. tall and the detail is amasing. The hands and the veins are so impressive since it was sculptued 501 years ago. It was truly a sight worth seeing. Unfortunaley there was no photos allowed and guards were watching all the time. Still we got a postcard but it doesn't do it justice. After that we went to the cathedral which was really a great site since it is unlike any other exterior I have ever seen on a cathedral. The inside seems really empty though. After that we had to try some Geloto according to Megan. It was damn good although we had to share it because of the price.

Then we did a little more sight seeing looking at the oldest bridge in Florance, a palace, and a sketchy market which was probably best left to the locals. Another hour was then spent looking for out bus stop and then we had some cheap wine and pizza back at the campsite. Megan however does not enjoy red wine so it was up to me to drink the whole bottle. That would bring us up to the present time where I have drank a bottle of wine and I am waiting for her to finish with the phone.

Cheers
