I was so happy when Mitz asked, 'do you want to go to Firenze tomorrow?'

We took the ten o'clock train from Perugia to Firenze; it was an hour and forty minutes ride.

According to Mitz, the Italian rail system is awful, but the seatings were more spacious than the British trains - it was nice and comfortable.

We arrived just before lunch time and walked towards the Duomo.

I was astonished by the architecture of this city; they're massive.

We went to Galleria degli Uffizi and after lunch, we went to Galleria dell'Accademia, where Michelangelo's 'David' is stored.

I stood in astonishment infront of 'David', it was so much bigger than I thought.

Uffizi was simply great.  I got a strong impact from da Vinci, Rubens, Lorenzetthi's paintings,

and Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus' is still fresh in my memory.



As the day drew on, the lights decorating the streest got accentuated, it was beautiful.


I promised myself to come back to this city again in the future.
