Our other day trip was by train was to Florence. For Jenny and David it was their first time, so they set off to explore the block blusterers.
Our main aim was to see the Bargello, a sculpture gallery, and we were not disappointed. Apart from being a gallery, it is also a wonderful palazzo to wander through.
