After we said our goodbyes to Spain we headed to Italy, Florence to be exact. I was so excited to go because I am a huge fan of the renaissance painter Botticelli, and this is the city where his painting “The Birth of Venus” is displayed. Since we only had a day in a half in Florence we went straight to the museum. Since we were limited on time we had to skip seeing the real David which was both costly and in another museum. Instead we opted for the replica that stood in the spot where the real one was originally. I thought it was more interesting to see the David in the original spot. We really enjoyed our short stay in Florence, we captured a small portion of this romantic city, but I would recommend staying longer so that you can really soak up the city and really appreciate it.
