Wednesday 27th June
Today we drove to Florence about 1:15 from San Sano (our village). Thank goodness for a Tom-tom as driving around Florence is quite a challenge. I wanted to head to the leather shop where I bought a jacket 8 years ago & amazingly soon found it. The owner, an Australian, was still there & was pretty impressed that I had returned & with friends! I did buy a jacket this time in a very unusual green colour. Not that I wanted back but she said they sell very few black ones now. I also came away another bag - I hate handbags, what am I doing? The leather is beautiful, so soft. I did get a good discount & the others came away with leather goods too.
We were also on a mission to find a particular sock shop to purchase special long golf socks (don’t ask) & after lots of walking we found them. By then we were in need of shade (it was 36C) & food & were eventually seated in the piazza beside the statue of David - not the real ones he was safely behind glass in the museum!
The afternoon was spent in cultural mood at the Petti Palace studying(?) the art works. I found the ceilings to be the most interesting _ hope I haven’t upset any art lovers!
After a refreshing swim we cooked our own dinner - a BBQ.
