The Lure Of Florence...

On then to Florence and here we had our first major disagreement with Boris the satilite navigator. He decided to send us right round to the south on the city and get us stuck in a traffic jam, I was not impressed! Half an hour later we were parked up at our usual car park and within sight of Ponte Vecchio. With only an hour and a half to saunter around we took in the sights of Florence. It is a gorgeous city with a river, bridges, piazzos and of course the newly cleaned Duomo looking like an ice cream cake. All too soon (after another ice cream) it was time to pack up and head for ‘home’, picking up provisions for the next couple of days on the way at the local shop. There was a new house down the road, but other than that nothing appeared to have changed and the key was waiting for us under a garden stone!
