FRENZIED FERENZE

Busy here, after a nice leisurely breakfast on the roof overlooking the city went to the Uffizi art gallery. Heaving, even with our priority passes. Went instead to Palazzo Ponte Vecchio which was lovely & no crowds. Chilled in a bar and then went to Pitti Palace. Both PPV and PP were homes of Cosimo di Medici, who was the big wheel who became king in the 1200's. Had loads-a-money and splashed it around. Took the bus up the big hill to Piazza Michelangelo, which has super views over the town & ice cream coffees to die for.
