08:33:36 The market at Piazza delle Cuore, where we went to buy things for breakfast. | 08:36:02 Everything looked delicious! | 08:36:05 | 08:37:33 |
08:39:24 | 08:40:34 | 08:40:39 | 08:45:27 ...most excitingly fresh porcini! |
08:49:34 We also picked up some pastries. | 08:50:14 The outside of the pasticceria. | 09:16:29 Erika helping Lorenzo to prepare the juice for breakfast. | 09:32:49 Sauteed fresh porcini. |
10:08:40 After breakfast, Erika playing with the kittens - she was already confident enough to actually touch them now! | 10:52:05 Erika got in the driver's seat as we were heading out. | 10:52:09 | 11:27:29 In the Boboli Gardens. |
11:28:11 | 11:32:01 Looking out over a very Tuscan sort of landscape. | 11:32:11 | 11:32:50 |
11:32:56 | 11:34:00 | 11:34:06 | 11:34:13 |
11:38:41 | 11:40:17 | 11:48:09 A bit of modern art. | 11:53:22 |
11:53:50 | 11:58:44 | 11:59:02 | 12:03:02 |
12:06:13 Could see the Duomo from here. | 12:07:26 | 12:08:43 | 12:10:43 Lorenzo took some pictures of me and Chie with the Duomo in the background. |
12:10:48 | 12:11:01 | 12:11:39 | 12:16:11 Erika woke up from her midday nap at this point - here's a picture of her and Olya. |
12:17:01 ...and now some pictures of me, Erika and Chie with the Duomo in the background. | 12:17:17 | 12:17:22 | 12:17:29 |
12:17:35 | 12:17:42 | 12:17:48 | 12:17:59 |
12:18:02 | 13:46:30 The place where we had lunch (Trattoria Bordino) back in the centre. I love this picture of me and Erika! | 13:46:50 Erika and Chie doing cheers. | 13:54:59 The pasta I had for lunch. Very simple but quite tasty. |
13:55:16 Our table for lunch. More napkins tucked in again. | 14:07:11 My main course, burrata with some salad. | 14:07:26 Erika playing with some cards. | 14:40:32 Taken to remember the name of the restaurant. |
15:00:42 ...and now the Negroni Crawl is under way. First stop, Caffe Rivoire. | 15:03:13 Mine and Lorenzo's Negronis at Rivoire. | 15:03:48 A plaque, originally in Caffe Casoni, about the invention of the Negroni. This was moved to Rivoire when Casoni changed to Caffe Giacosa. | 15:05:52 My Negroni at Rivoire with the snacks in the background. |
15:36:38 Erika holding court in the streets of Florence. | 15:36:47 The wooden toy shop. | 15:56:46 Erika having some gelato from Grom. | 16:16:08 The Duomo. |
16:16:42 | 16:18:06 Erika looking at some horses. | 16:18:15 | 16:20:38 |
16:39:05 Next stop on the Negroni crawl - Caffe Gilli. | 16:39:10 Rather nice interior here again. | 16:41:30 Group shot in Caffe Gilli. | 16:41:37 Lovely picture! |
16:41:57 ...and with Chie in shot. | 16:41:59 | 16:42:01 | 16:42:03 |
17:04:23 I forget where this is exactly. | 17:16:18 The third and final stop on the Negroni Crawl - Caffe Giacosa, formerly Caffe Casoni, where the Negroni was invented. | 17:17:43 Group shot in Caffe Giacosa. | 17:25:10 They have Count Negroni glasses here. |
17:43:41 A modern art installation. | 17:55:04 ...and another one. | 17:55:37 | 21:08:56 Dinner at Pizzeria Re Matto, a local pizza place not too far from Lorenzo's house. I had fiori di zucca to start. |
21:15:02 Erika's pasta. | 21:29:47 My porcini and truffle pizza. Despite the slightly burnt edges this was quite tasty. |
