Easter in Tuscany: Florence

This year for Easter, I decided to go to Tuscany. First up was Florence, home of the ponte vecchio.

It is a nice city, and very compact to walk around. On the downside, I didn't think its gelato was particularly special. I got to see alot of museums including the Uffizi. Naturally, I saw the statue of David, but was not overly impressed with it. I thought his hands were unnaturally large.

The churches in Florence are also really good, particularly the frescoes.

The best, though, was the battistero, which was so much more elaborate than I had expected. It took a long time to take it all in.
