It’s been a while since I posted the last post. I was focused on Instagram for a while. 😀 I have many travel pics to post. I’ll try to put them asap. (Follow me on instagram @this_is_duru)
We went to Boboli garden in Palazzo Pitti. The garden was exhibiting some sculptures by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Penone.

We had a coffee time with delicious cakes on rooftop cafe in Rinascente department store. The view from this cafe was awesome. You can see 360 degree view of Florence. The Duomo was just in front of us.

This Pitti Palace is the largest museum in Florence. It was residence of a banker, Luca Pitti from 1458. The Medici family bought this palace in 1549. And there is a beautiful garden “Boboli” in the palace. I’ll update soon.
Gelato, the best way to close the day!

We went to the Museum of Modern Art in Palazzo Pitti. I took pictures of view from window again like in the Uffizi Gallery. It’s more beautiful than paintings in the museum.

After Visiting the Uffizi Gallery, we just walked and shopped. It seems like a trend to ride a Segway scooter in Florence. But it’s not romantic in the city of Renaissance. 😀

So stunning Arno! Can’t believe that I took these pics by iPhone5! It’s as beautiful as a painting.

I woke up early to go to The Uffizi Gallery. There were many tourists in early morning. I preferred to see awesome view from windows than famous paintings. It was beautiful!

It’s on sale in Florence! There were many interesting small shops on the way from Piazza del Repubblica to Santa Maria Novella. And many stuffs for pasta! Better to buy pasta than pasta tools for me. 😀
And gelato is perfect to finish the day! So good!
We went Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. This Basilica is principal Dominican church in Florence. Frescoes by masters of Gothic and early Renaissance are famous. Reflection of colorful stained glasses on the floor was awesome.
And we went to the oldest pharmacies Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Wow! It was opened in 1612. This house is really huge and smells good. You can get what you want because shopping lists in many languages were displayed.

Had a coffee with a delicious tiramisu at cafe Gilli in the Piazza della Repubblica. OMG! I was tempted by many sweets. And my mum bought a sexy glasses hankie as a souvenir of Florence.🙈
