We began the day with Bernie, our local tour guide. He was totally fabulous. Very interesting and so incredibly knowledgeable. We walked to the Academia where we saw the David, looking very tall and very manly.
Bennie then took us on a city tour that ended at Santa Croce and the leather shop. We learned all about leather and how it is made etc, headed to Santa Croce and then set the kids free to run amok. Some of you might have felt a disturbance in the force as credit cards were run through machines with great frequency!!
We met for dinner at 7pm, walked to Vivoli, for our last gelato (also the most famous of gelato places in Italy), then headed over to the Pitti Palace to show the kids (at least the front) of the home of the Medici's.
Tomorrow should be another long day with a long bus drive. We will drive an hour to Pisa and then another 5 or 6 hours to Nice.
