Yesterday we spent an enjoyable but quite tiring day in
Firenze (Florence) which is quite a lovely city with wonderful architecture where
ever you look.

Ponte Vecchia, Duomo, Basilica Santa Maria Novell, Palazzo
Vecchio, we visited them all and others as part of a guided walking tour. We
then had lunch in a grand old hotel, The Borghese Palace hotel which was
thoroughly enjoyable starting with lasagne then pork in a rich sauce with small
roasted potatoes followed by desert. All this accompanied by a bottle of wine
and one of water per table of four.

Our afternoon was free to wander the
streets exploring further. Sue was disappointed she could find no Florentine biscuits
anywhere.
