Breakfast was collect by the girls from over the road, before we headed to the Uffizi gallery for the morning. Then a wander around the main sights – Ponte Santa Trinita (bridge), Pitti Palazo, Ponte Vecchio, Fontana del Porcellino, Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio.
Then lunch. We wanted a sandwich from the highly recommended All’Antico Vinaio, and knew we’d need to queue…but when we arrived at the one closest to us (there are a few branches across Florence) we found massive queues – hundreds of people. They’d had a power cut and couldn’t make sandwiches!! So we decided to walk to another branch, near the Accademia Gallery. Not everyone was happy with the decision, but the food was excellent when we eventually got it.
Dinner was at a very traditional restaurant, again a recommendation – Trattoria La Burrasca. A bit more challenging than many others, it was extremely simple but incredibly tasty.
