Florence Day 3 Boboli Gdn, Medici Chapel

Went to the farmer's market at Santo Spirito this morning before our planned trip to Fiesole. The market had fruit, cheeses, vege and sauces, jewellery and craft, all made by the stall holders.
I missed our bus to Fiesole and the next one would be too late so we changed plans.
We went to Boboli Gardens instead. The gardens were sprawling with fountains, grottoes, columns, statues and a green house full of citrus trees.

Then we visited The Medici Chapel where the Medici family were buried.

Attended Vespers at the Duomo and finished the day with tartufo pasta and a Bistecca Florentine. We had to take half the steak home, eventhough it was delicious, it was huge.

On our way back to the accommodation, we passed a group of old cigarette smoking men playing music. They were very entertaining.
