We received our confirmation for our reservations to go see Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery. Our appointment was at 10:15 am so we got up and had some breakfast and headed over to see Michelangelo’s most famous sculpture.
No camers were allowed so we just walked the gallery and took it all in. Besides the David there are many other works of art in the gallery and it was a pleasant visit.
Bolstered by yesterday’s success and the continuing good weather we decided to spend the afternoon in Pisa.
We walked to the train station and bought tickets and within a few minutes we were on our way.
It’s only about an hour’s train ride from Florence and when you get to Pisa it’s only a 15 minute walk to the tower.
It was a gorgeous day and the tower looked great having recently been restored and all the scaffolding removed.
Aside from the tower and the other two buildings there’s really not much to see in Pisa. We took some photos, had some lunch, enjoyed the weather and made our way back to Florence.
After going back to the hotel and resting a bit we went out to dinner and had a delicious meal and a bottle of wine.
Florence is turning out to be the best part of the trip so far.
