A day in Florence

Our hotel doesn't have breakfast facilities so we had to make do with some supermarket fruit, yogurt and nuts in our room. We had booked tickets for the Ufizzi with an entry time of 9:00 am. They stagger visitors across the day.

We managed a solid 3 hours in the gallery. I think my take away favourites would be the collection of marble sculpture. They had some heavy hitters from the art world on show too. Please look away if you don't want to be confronted with male appendages

Quite liked this Da Vinci

A man with curly hair and a beard

Pretty impressive galleries 

Caravaggio Medusa was popular with the visitors

Roman emporers were a plenty. Claudius.


Also the view from the gallery was a good one


After some food we walked to the Piazzale Michelangelo that looks down over Florence

A copy of David is there. We didn't visit the original 

Actually he turns up in a few places around town. 


The cathedral 


Later

Florence has a nice vibe in the evening, probably more so than during the day where it feels slightly manic to us.


Crazy fountain

We head to La Spezia in the morning via Pisa

30 years and counting ..

It's been thirty years now since Vicki and I went for an offshore adventure like the one we are about to embark on. We thought we could share our experiences (good and bad) using this platform. We came to this decision following our trip to the book shop and deciding 1B5 was just...  Bags have been packed, weighed and re-packed and all contents are now "fully committed to" as we leave first thing on 4 March 2025 a.k.a tomorrow.

Singapore

Our day started just after 5:00 am. Singapore wasn't quite ready for us.  After breakfast we took our big bags to the airport and left them with the storage service. This gave us 14 hours until our flight (54 holes of golf?). We visited China town, had lunch, walked around Gardens by the Bay (in the rain), walked around the city (not in the rain) and eventually back to the airport. Singapore excels at food, shopping, tall buildings and public transport. We would definitely visit again. The locals are pretty relaxed and welcoming. It feels clean, safe, modern and a bit not-modern. Our hotel was in the Geylang area which felt non-touristic. Street markets sold cheaper everything and push bikes ruled the pavement. Fail 1. Our Wise card refused to tag off at one of the stations. The attendant just opened the gate for us as he quickly pegged us as non-locals. He said Wise cards had previous on their network. An unsolved mystery.

Alhambra

Boarding our train in Madrid was more straightforward than Barcelona but not without it's challenges. Trains leave from three different platform levels. The information desk solved this problem for us. We arrived to rain in Granada but stuck to our backpacking and walked to the hotel. The receptionist was an ex-pat American and was very helpful in solving our planning oversight. We hadn't booked Alhambra. The no. 2 visitor hotspot in Spain apparently, just behind Sagrada Familia. I'd looked while we were in Madrid and the only online tickets were well after we left Granada. Anyway, the current pattern is that they periodically drop tickets. We were advised to check at 12:00am, much like booking a rock concert. I randomly checked for today and tickets had been released so we jumped on them.  My lasting memory from visiting Granada nearly 40 years ago with Kay and Sharon was that I wanted to visit again. Walking to and through the Alhambra did seem familiar. Our visit has bee...
