We couldn't visit Florence without paying a visit to Michelangelo's famous "David" - Good thing we were told to prebook our tickets, as you can see from the queue, he's a very popular boy.
Then a walk over
Ponte Vecchio - it is one of the oldest & most photographed bridges in Florence (I thought the shops on the bridge looked like they were ready to topple into the Arno river)As you pass over the bridge it is lined on both sides with jewellery shops
Up to the Piazzale Michelangelo (lots of steps) for a great view of the city
Florence was incredibly crowded & full of people begging or trying to sell you their products of imitation brands - It is actually an offence in Florence to purchase imitation designer brands on the street - so remember - if caught, you will be charged.
Churches everywhere
Exhausted we made our way back to Lucca on a very slow train.
