Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" (severely cropped due to another
visitor getting in front of me at the left-hand corner) |
We had a train to catch in the early afternoon, so made an early morning visit to the Uffizi Museum, probably the most important collection of Renaissance art. I'm not a fan of classical art, but couldn't help but be impressed by this collection. Perhaps the most famous piece in the collection is the Birth of Venus by Botticelli.

| Mask and puppet shop with way too much reflection |
We had to quickly check out of our rooms and head to the train station for the 2-hour ride to Venice. Now we were in an area with no cars and only canals for transportation. The souvenir shops included lots of glass shops and mask shops.

| Fried calamari with polenta |
I treated myself to fried calamari for dinner. It was delicious, but I can't keep eating it or I won't be
able to fit into my pants when it's time to come home.
