Seeing that we were unable to see the Statue of David yesterday, we were up early to make sure we didn't leave Florence without seeing it !!, so if to the museum Accademia. Wow !! What can I say. It is magnificent. As expected it is huge, and the detail is incredible, it just makes you want to sit & look at it!! The museum also has lot of plaster models of statues to be carved. We don't think that Michelangelo did one of David- at least we didn't see it. After looking at the rest of the museum, we couldn't resist going back for one last look at David, as it truly is amazing!! Unfortunately, no photos are allowed - unless you are John!!
The train journey to Rome was only about 1 1/2 hrs, again in a comfortable high speed train, with great scenery. Our hotel, Hotel Mozart is located right on Via del Corso close to the Piazza de Popollo and the Spanish Steps and lots of Churches. Fantastic location. Wow, it's great to be back in Rome
