The Uffizi Gallery

An early start this morning allowed us to walk to the famous Uffizi Gallery. After a long two-hour wait we were finally inside the gallery, we made our way up some stone stairs to the main part of the gallery.

During a steady stroll around the gallery we came across the Botticelli room where the famous 'Birth of Venus' is kept. A few rooms down we stepped outside onto a lovely terrace where we could see the tops of the houses and the dome of the Duomo.

Whilst sat outside in the warmth of the sunshine we enjoyed some admittedly overpriced drinks; however we thought it was more for the view. Then we made our way to the exit where we came across some Leonardo Da Vinci artworks which were striking. We all then made our way back to Palazzo Vecchio where we saw the statue of David and then made our separate ways to our choice of restaurant.
