13th April - Firenze from Up High

Took the huge 2 floored train from Figline to Florence today, on the drive to the station was overtaken by a crazy man doing a hundred miles an hour who pushed us off the road the way italians do here and then parked in the middle of the street outside the video shop! Florence was busy, noisy, crowded but pretty and the best part of all was the trip up the duomo

one of the world's largest cathedrals.



The climb up a narrow spiral staircase and what looked like tiny gaps was nothing compared to the realisation we are both really scared of heights but it was
worth it to see the ceiling so close you could actually touch it.

mats stat - it is 463 steps to the top of the duomo and nearly as many to get back down!!!
