Dome climb

We got up early to beat the crowds that line up to climb the 300+ steps to the top of the dome. It was worth it for the views across Firenze, with storms and rain circling the city. Smiling before the climb, which wasn't as bad as we had imagined- must be all the pre-practice we were getting.

In the dome now and closer to the paintings.

Looking across to the Campanile [bell tower] which we did next.

Some little details at the top. I don't understand the need to write your name here.

Looking down.

On the way down, as different route from the up one.
