Today, after a much needed late morning we joined a group that climbed the Duomo Bell Tower and headed to the Galileo Museum. Here our tour guide Karen showed us the Medici and Lorraine collection. These collections were filled with treasures including telescopes and Galileo's actual finger!
Next we went to Santa Croce church where we saw the tombs of Galileo and Michelangelo. This was a challenging tour for us because complete silence was required.
In the afternoon we spent time at the Uffizi Gallery. Here we gazed at some of the famous works of Botticelli and Michelangelo.
During the evening we split up and did some shopping in the open-air markets.
Overall it was a very culture and event filled day!
