We arrived bright and early at the Uffizi where we sauntered smugly past the long queue, brandishing our pre-booked tickets.
Four hours and hundreds of masterpieces later we staggered out exhausted. We saw roooms full of Botticellis, Carravagios, several Leonardos and Michelangelos. Famous paintings familiar from art history books materialised in front of us. Included was 'The birth of Venus' which I once heard a tourist describe as 'Venus on the half-shell'. I'm not sure what sauce you'd serve with that.
An afternoon of exploring, getting lost and discovering treasures followed.
We had a last dinner with the Triple Ms: they are going back to Frankfurt in the morning.
