My what big ... hands you have David (Statue of) !!

We had a 6 am wake up this morning (guess that's pretty much like the real world - sorry folks), and on our first train journey from Rome to Florence. We have a 10 day Eurail pass which we can use over 60 days. Very smooth train and very fast (only 1.5 hours). Much faster and less stress than driving thats for sure. We were in Florence for Breakfast !!  Hope they are all this good.

Enjoyed the day strolling around and of course a visit to see Michelangelo's Statue of David. The boys very impressed with the size of his hands !

I reckon you can smell the leather as you drive into Florence. As a result, new leather jackets for Caz and Phil (oh dear, big problem with luggage now but how could we resist ??).

Boys have now discovered gelato.... perfecto for when we want a quiet coffee stop !

We pick up a car tomorrow and head to a house in San Gimignano, Tuscany, for a week. Looking forward to the change of pace in the country. Weather looks like its turning cold on Sunday... 1 degree forecast - OMG !

Cheers
Phil
