Saw this homeless dude going fishing, seriously, wear a fig leaf or something:

view at the top of the park:

Looking over Florence towards its cathedral and tower:

Oooooos a good doggie woggie den?!

As we were wandering towards the cathedral and tower, we saw a guy walking out of a door, so we slipped in before it shut and found ourselves in a museum:

I found out from Google that this statue represents how hungry the babies are in Italy, don't put your hand too close to a baby's mouth or you'll regret it:

We finally got to the cathedral and queued up to go inside:

finding out that the inside of it was one of the most unimpressive cathedrals I've ever seen. There was a queue just to get the hell back out of the place!

The tower was very cool though, we went up that:

Getting a fantastic view:

View over to Florence's main square where the fake statue of David is:

Then it was back on another train and off to Venice, arriving at night:

Yeah, yeah, you've seen one canal, you've seen them all, but there's bugger all else to take photos of!

One of the main bridges over the grand canal:

The Grand Canal itself:

Look, another canal!

Oh, there was another main square to see too:

Another bridge over the Grand Canal (we went over them all):

And just in case you haven't seen enough, some more canals!

Venice was fantastic though, no cars and a rabbit warren of streets and alleyways to walk though, I was glad I had Google maps on my phone with GPS! Try navigating without a map through streets from the main square back to your hotel (every triangle is a change do a different path):

Italy, fantastic!
