We had agreed that today would be the most relaxed day in Florence, spent mostly shopping for our souvenirs and taking our final pictures around our apartment. At the end it turned out to be anything but relaxing. We started by having a typical Italian breakfast of Panini sandwich and hot chocolate, then we walked over to the fountain of Neptune to take pictures. We squeezed in the shopping all while on a tight schedule timed by our dear son Alec. It was a mere 60 min, then the alarm went off.
Fortunately we had time to eat some carbs (again) pizza, pasta and salad.
Our next stop was Boboli Gardens (so that's where the name comes from!). A beautiful place to go and take pictures of the city, which means of course we had to climb quite a bit of stairs to get there.
Finally we walked up to Plaza MichelAngelo, a place also high above the city, which also meant walking up several flight of stairs. In total Alec's Nike fuel band recorded over 14,000 steps taken today. Compared to a typical day back home of 2,000 steps. It is clear how much we have traveled in one day.
Good Night is perhaps the best thing to say after all that walking.
Good night,
Ciao
