Ciao Again,
Today we queued up (again) with our reserve tickets to see Daivd. Today we were at the front of the line and witnessed first hand the
Patron: "I've got reserved tickets"
Door Person: "Go to the end of this queue"
P: "But I've paid extra to gety in"
D."P: "Yes at the end of this queue, the shorter one"
P (to another patron): "Have you got reserved tickets"
A.P: "Yes... I've been here for 30 mins"
It was a continued procession... Fortunately being at the front of the line we made a few jokes with the Door Person and got in before our reserved time (rather than a lot after it)
The Academia is a purpose built gallery for the David statue and it does show Michealangelo's work of brilliantly. In the presense of the statue you can't help but just stand there and marvel at it. It is by far the artistic highlight of our trip.
We also spent quite a few hours touring the Pitti Palace, the artworks there and the gardens. They weren't as well curated as they could have been and were a bit of a let down after the Academia.
After the disappointment of the Wallabies, we managed to catch the French get up over the All Blacks and I thought the Fiji might have kept up the upset weekend over South Africa but it wasn't to be.
Tomorrow I'll be heading off on my first driving in Italy when we head to Pisa!
Also I've added some more photos (finally)
Talk to you soon...
