The day arrived with rainy weather and the forecast for Cinque Terre over the next few days was 90% precipitation, so we revised plans again and decided to stay in Florence another day instead of only till lunch time then heading to Pisa then Cinque Terre. So after breakfast we headed off to the city again. We visited the crypt under the Duomo, which was quite interesting showing different levels of flooring, some crypts and a bit of information about the construction phases of The Duomo. After this we lined up for our tickets to The Uffizi Gallery. This was an exercise, we had an appointment time to pick up our tickets which was 11.15 you cannot pick up your tickets anymore than 10mins before your time slot, then after this queue we had to jpin another queue to go into the gallery. This was about a 20min wait there. The appointment times definitely help the waiting times but meant you were on a schedule that isn’t good for us. Anyway we did it, on time. Surprise surprise. We spent the next 3 or so hours in the gallery and saw paintings and sculptures by the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli and Michelangelo. There were some fantastic paintings there and some of the looked so real and the expressions were amazing. Even within the one painting you could see some parts that were more detailed than others. Some you could just feel the life in the person. The period of art was all based on religious themes and most of the artworks were very dark, but all in all an interesting morning. We then went to the Gallileo Museum which was really interesting especially for DB. I was a bit drained and unable to focus on anything that required too much thought so had a little rest outside whilst David explored the rest of the museum. After this we headed to Piazzale Michelangelo which was a park area above the city up many many stairs where we went to another cathedral, had dinner and waited for the sunset. The view of the city was amazing and once dark the city looked fantastic under lights. This was a fitting end to our time in Florence, which for a city was really good.
