October 4

Well, this travel is aging! We headed out at about 9:15 for a visit to the Accademia and saw the wondrous works of art. Such beautiful statues and a wonderful guide to explain it all to us.  We had a long wait out in the cobbles until about 10:30 am then after the guided tour, wandered around the squares and finally had lunch about 1.00. Walked back to,the hotel arriving about 4:30.  Nearly dead as,it got hotter and hotter as the day wore on.  After happy hour drinks with friends, we headed to,the restaurant for dinner and now in bed ready for tomorrow's visit to Pisa, and Venice.  We will arrive there around 6 and I will be glad of the restful day on the bus after all that walking today.  Glad I,just had a,salad for supper after all the lunch today( pizza).
