Florence |

Outside of the Duomo, the fourth largest cathedral in the world. |

View of Florence from the Piazza Michelangelo, which is right next to our campsite. Florence is expensive for accomodation, we pay a bit over $40 AU to camp with our own tent, and this is the cheapest around. |

The Ponte Vecchio. This bridge use to house all the butchers in Florence but when the city expanded the government decided it would be better to house gold traders and still does today. |

This is the ceiling in the Capelle Michelangelo. the building houses a number of tombs from ancient Italy including the last of the Medici family who were founders of Florence. It also has the first sculpture done by Michelangelo but we were'nt allowed to take pictures anywhere. I snuck this one in when they were'nt looking |
