On the last day of James, Stephen and my Italy trip we went to to Florence Italy, the heart of the Renaissance. In the course of one day we were able to visit the Uffizi gallery, the cathedral complex with the famous Dome, Baptistery and Campanile, the Academia gallery, Sante Croce, and Ponte Vecchio. Each of these places cost about 5 Eruo to get into. (Just in case you ever decide to visit Florence). With no further ado, here are the pictures.
