We set off earlier than usual and arrived at the Michael Angelo square way up above the city. Look at the views you get from up there!

The statue of David was revealing 🤣

From here you can walk down through a beautiful rose garden into the city to cross the river and find the sights. ( we came back this way) 

We made the mistake of getting on a local bus which took us further away dropping us off by the railway station and so a long way to walk. (The central part of the city is restricted to locals for travelling through.)

I can’t truthfully say I enjoyed this experience in the centre of the city. Queues to enter the cathedral stretched as far as the eye could see and for me there were too many people milling in front of me all the time. So we took our photos and decided to leg it back up the hill to our car park . (But that’s another story as the heat got to me…. I’ll say no more)

So now we are back in our holiday rental and with thick walls it is cool and I’m recovering slowly 😉)
