Today as Jenny was saying goodbye to Florence we decided to head downtown for lunch.
After the (obligatory) coffee in Caffe Villani, I went one way, to drop something off with Massi, Jenny, Ivor (her boyfriend) and Viktor a.k.a. Junior (her brother) another. But we had decided to meet at the Trattoria in San Lorenzo Market that we frequent on Saturdays to have a cheap and delicious lunch in great surroundings.
Sadly, today, the queue defeated us, so lunch instead was in the Mercato Centrale, in a trattoria at the end of the stalls - the food must at least be fresh as it doesn't need to travel far!
I could have spent many hours, and many Euros in the market, but we had to go and show the guys the rest of the sights of the city, so we headed off to the circuit (Piazza Della Republica, Piazza Signoria, Santa Croce, Ponte Vecchio) before Jenny and the guys went home. Of course the route also tok us past the Duomo - check out all the tourists taking pics by the cathedral - and there are maybe only half as many now as in July!
I did a little shopping - making the most of the end of the sales before heading back on the trusty 17 bus myself.
