Florence
The copy statue of David (the real one is in a museum in Florence), but this is where the real one would have been.This morning we headed to the centre of Florence where we got shown how they make leather. I bought a leather wallet and some earrings. It's quite hard to distinguish the real from the fake, but if you buy it from a shop generally most of them are real. Later we had a guided tour around the centre of Florence, we got to see The Old Bridge, the dome, the (fake) statue of David (didn't have time to see the real one) as well as many other statues and buildings. We decided to go back to the leather store and buy a real Italian leather jacket. Broke the bank a bit but it was worth it! We took to long shopping that we missed the contiki bus back to the hotel (not a biggie though as it wasn't compulsory), so we had to catch a taxi home. So far no one has got injured so haven't had to use my nursing skills today, lets hope it stays that way 😊
