The bridge that is a street

I was half way across the Ponte Vecchio before I worked out I was on the bridge not in a street. There is a Venice deja vu moment right there.  The bridge is completely covered in shops and houses two stories high plus the De Medici secret passageway. We did 6 hrs walking today and none of it was flat except inside the Uffizi Gallery. Those art lessons years ago came back to memory in full colour. The afternoon was spent roaming the gardens of previously wealthy families like the De Medici's backyard and mansion.

Hands in the air like you just don't care

  1. Loved the walk through the Uffizi Gallery this morning. Exciting to see lots of paintings that I had studied at school in form 6 in 1976. Walked over 20k steps today up hill and down dale. More to see tomorrow.
