Our original plan for today was a train trip to Lucca. However due to a 24-hour strike of railway workers, we will be going tomorrow instead. After a leisurely morning we took a walk-about in Florence beginning at Santa Maria Novella piazza. We visited the centuries-old pharmacy turned perfumery began by the monks of SMN selling their elixers, salves and other remedies. We passed through the Strozzi Palazo and on to Piazza Republica ending up at Leonardo's cafeteria for some lunch. The rest of the day was free for our own pursuits. Just a few photos today but there will be lots more later . . .Ciao!
