Palazzo Vecchio

The statues in from the Palazzo Vecchio - left is one of King Neptune and the middle one is a copy of the Statue of David (Michelangelo's famous statue). As you can see a popular meeting place. Just to the right of this building is the famous museum call The Uffizi - house of some of the finest art collections in the world. The day I was there - the queue was over 4 hours long. Best advice - get there when it opens (8am) so you won't have the wait. I am told it will take you a few hours to explore the collections - just in time for lunch in a local bistro. Posted by Picasa

Hello laura Jean,

It was nice seeing your picture. I also went on Euro tour back in 1999. I still want to go back and explore some more as there were still a lot of places I have not seen. Looks like you really had fun.
