DAY 21 | Our own unguided tour of Florence. | ||
On the Ponte Vecchio, now dedicated to Jewelers , as opposed to Butchers who previously occupied the Medicci's favorite bridge..( the smells offended the family ).
This handsome chap & his pidgeon friends met us part way across.
Our 10 euro's bought us entry into the Giardino Di Bobolli.
We couldn't access the house, but the interesting fountains made it a great wander.
Our distant hotel near the Duomo.
The fabulous views make it wellworth the 10 euros.
The cooler temperatures helped too.
Just like other days the miles soon piled up as we approached the tombs of the great & the good.
The Bassilica of Santa Croce.
The Burial place of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Gallileo.
Michelangelo Buonarroti ( 1475-1564)
And Danti, founder of the modern Itallian language.
The beautuful alter.
The Mona Wife.
I fancied a nice salad..
Goodnight dear reader xxx
