Okay Greg, climbed the Duomo. Damn, that was all my latent claustrophobic vertigo issues rolled into one. But so worth it. That dome fresco of hell and that view. So worth it. Thanks for the prodding because given my leg issues, I was tempted to bail but I thought, no way can I miss it if Greg did it.
This morning we did that whole circuit - campanile (where I failed at level 1 due to cramps - Stacy made it almost to the top and Tara made the top just to take a pic of me collapsed below), opera museum which had some nice relics and a harsh donatello mary magdalene, the duomo, that other amazing dome thing too. All sublimely spectacular.
Had some amazing cappuccino, another salmon treat, several bottles of fizzy water, a yellow tomato pizza with buffalo cheese and whole wheat crust, some weird blueberry ice tea, tastes of T's almond custard pastry, watermelon (w/seeds) & mint gelato.
Meant to mention yesterday's swords - some cheesey gladius and fantasy pieces in a tourist shop. But there were also some nice repro gladiator helmets. Tomorrow, the armoury. We must move to another AirBnB across the river.
It got hot today. Real hot. I'm living off fizzy water.
oh and a cheese plate. how could i forget that? only 3 cheeses (wish they'd mark them) but one pepper-rind one was awesome. still, not as amazing as french cheese plates. french rule with the soft cheeses.
