In Florence today. Spent 2.5hrs of my life on the a 30°C sidewalk queing to see the famous Micheanglo's statue David. Some guy tried to cut the line towards the end and XYZ inspired incited the whole line into riot level aggression at this tragic little French man in his little red shirt (felt sorry for his kid though) with which ended his ambitions. The indignation, the injustice! I think the truth was everyone was just bored and pissed off we'd lost so much of our life sitting on pidgeon shit and getting slow baked in the sun.
Yesterday we saw the 'field of miracles' (aka. the Leaning Tower of Pisa and everything surrounding it) and paid €15 and waited 2hrs to climb it for 20mins... It leaned, and there were good views but that was about it. There was much more fun to be had seeing what photos one could take with the tower (coming to the photo section soon - The Monster of Pisa)
I was impressed by the Vatican city, the Pantheon and Rome in general. But so far it seems Italy is filled with high entrance fees and wait times for otherwise mediocre (but 'must do') sights. Another thing the pizza here is DEFINATELY NOT AS GOOD as Lygon St pizza or even Dominos for that matter.
P.S.
A word of advice. If you want to see David buy a postcard or if that isn't enough, see the plaster of paris version instead.
