The previous day we had been spoiled because Sashia was able to skip all the queues. There was a very long queue at the Uffizi - I have since learned that you can buy ties tickets online. However all was not lost as a girl was going down the queue selling skip the line tickets at 22 euro each. Online is a lot cheaper!
Anyway we decided to do it and were able to almost immediately enter the Uffizi. What a place! Apart from all the amazing paintings by Botticelli, Da Vinci, Michaelangelo and all the Renaissance artists, there were collection of 13th century paintings and Roman and Greek statues, as well as later paintings.
The ceilings were unusual as they were copies of the Roman "grotesque" style.
