Oh did i mentionโฆ. iโm actually in Italy,Yay!!ย
Well iโm not actually in Italy as i write this, iโm at home on my iMac! But Sarah kept on catching me opening the maps app and taking a screenshot of our location!
Today we thought weโd head south towards the river, then curl round and end up North of the hotel at the Palazzo Medici Riccardi to see if last night really was a dream.
The Vasari Corridorโฆ.
Sarah & i really liked theย “Vasari Corridorโ, but now Sarah wonโt let me through as i’m a commoner, lol. Eventually i managed to negotiate a deal, but it meant looking round more shops! ๐
Sarah looking fluent in Florin! (Italian gold coin) ย
Sarah at Tiffanyโs! ๐
After a while we decided to rest a little and get refreshed ready for more exciting touring. Mmmmmm coffee and cake! ๐ย
ย ย 
Wow, now that was fantastic! Anyway better get back to it! ๐ย
It wasnโt long before Sarah found another friend, in the form of a statue.ย
As we walked past the amazing Florence Cathedral, Sarah noticed and got excited that there was now a Christmas tree & nativity scene.
After being wowed, we took lots of photos to try and get one good enough to possibly make Christmas cards for loved ones.
Now on to the Palazzo Medici Riccardi…
We arrived at the palace (left in photo above) and found the exhibition, yay i didnโt dream it! ๐
As the majority of the artwork displayed was created by blind & partially sighted people, it was really tactile so we got to touch the creations. Iโm so used to going to museums etc and not being able to see or touch the art. Thanks artists! ๐
ย ย 
As i mentioned yesterday (see Day 5) i was 1 of 3 artists (still not used to being called that)ย from the UK who exhibited, so iโd like to introduce to youโฆAnn and her paintings…
And Christinaโs photos…
After a long walk around looking and touching the art, we went out of the back exit where i found an archway, and a huge ring that we kept finding on the outside of buildings, i think for the horses.
Weโd had another fantastic day in Florence, and if you remembered onย Day 4, i’d topped the evening off with an amazing cherry topped cakeโฆWell this evening it got better stillโฆ..
Bistecca alla fiorentinaโฆ..
Just when you thought the evening couldnโt get any betterโฆSarah & i shared the amazingย Florentine steak! We had been told by Grace from our favourite restaurant in the world (Sicily Restaurant) that we couldnโt leave without trying one. Wow, she was right. It was truly magnificent and everything weโd hoped for, although i think Sarah got arm ache from sawing the never ending extra thick meat!! ๐
Weโve had such a memorable and unbelievable time in Italy, and as this was Thursday, we still had a full day Friday, before we headed home on Saturday. ๐ย
