While waiting for our group to assemble around our guide I take the opportunity for a bathroom break downstairs as who knew when I'd get the chance again?
We turn a corner led by our guide and get our first glimpse of David and the crowd.....
As always I am wearing my Rick Steves money belt to avoid my pockets being picked
I have to take photos over the heads of those before me as we move slowly along
Looking back over my shoulder...yikes!
Why he wore no clothes is still a mystery
Thankfully selfie sticks and flash photography are not allowed here
The tree stump serves as a support for the statue
Once I had circumnavigated the statue I was free to break away from the crowd and explore briefly the other rooms nearby to look at works that don't attract large numbers of lookers
It doesn't take long to see it and to marvel at Michelangelo's skill. The guide gathered us up into a group again and like most museums we had to exit through another gift shop where my quest for a fridge magnet was futile
Once outside again we set off on a walk through the streets of Florence to see some of its architectural beauty.....
