Florence 3: home at last

On Wednesday we booked a tour of the Uffizi in the afternoon but spent the morning exploring. Could not believe what we found. Somehow one of us was drawn to a particular street where we found the Museo de Casa Martelli. Really. We did an afternoon tour of the Uffizi with a great guide with obvious passion for his subject. He suggested we needed 3 days to see the uffizi properly but would do his best in the 90 minutes of our tour to show us major works. Our group was given the choice of climbing over 100 stairs or taking the lift to the top floor. You guessed it, stairs. Wonderful sculptures and paintings by Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo. Fantastic but kept thinking turtles.
