      Vasari Café, Arezzo

      October 6, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      By this time we’d worked up an appetite so headed to the Piazza Grande for drinks and a light lunch. We went back to the Vasari Cafe that we’d enjoyed so much yesterday.

      The staff are so good and have a bit of fun. While Brad was busy trying to get a good photo of our cocktails the waitress appeared behind him with our lunch and asked, ‘Do you want to eat!’ In other words, get out of my way so I can put the food down. We do love the servers who interact with us and have a sense of humor. Adds to the overall experience.

      We loved this cafe so much that we ended up eating at least one meal here every day. And of course, it ended up being our go to for our afternoon drinks. It was the perfect place to watch the world go by, to relax and just take in where we are and appreciate how lucky we are to be here.

      Palazzo della Fraternità dei Laici

      October 5, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      After a relaxing few beverages and delicious lunch, we decided visit the Museo Palazzo Di Fraternita, Museum of the Fraternity. This is situated inside the palace of the Fraternity of the Lay, of which construction was started in 1375 and completed by Giorgio Vasari in the mid-16th century. It now has on display artwork, manuscripts and documents dating back to the 1400s. We were also able to go up to the clock tower to see the Astronomical Clock. Dating back to 1552 it is one of the rarest watches in Europe, unique in Italy for its size and type of functionality. It does seem to ring randomly though.

      The views over the Grand Piazza and Arezza from the top of the clock tower showed us how much we have to explore, from the churches in the distance to the numerous towers. We finished the day with dinner of pasta and ragu back in our room before an early night. We can’t wait to see it all tomorrow.
