After much-needed sleep, I was up before 9. Breakfast is included in my stay, and - to my surprise - South meets North, so you can also find bacon, eggs, sausages, etc. Lovely surprise. After a few bites, back to the city. Some walk and quick espresso on the way



Some interesting clothes available for purchase (but I didn't check how much is the Lowcost )



And some interesting cooperation between luggage brand and Italian volleyball national teams:



First planned stop of the day: Ferragamo Museum



Rather a small one, but interesting. As far as I remember, it has 9 rooms. Focused on shoes manufactured by Mr Salvatore, not on the current brand. The entry fee is 8 Euros. Nice place to spend 30-45 minutes. I was surprised, that there was no cafeteria there.







So, no coffee means a quick hop on the other side of the river





Some Piazza there with a Cathedral, uninspiring from the outside, but nice inside (as far as it was available, due to prayers)




Espresso is a great form of coffee, but has it's master of type, which is - of course - Caffee Coretto. Some will name it the only proper coffee in Italy
Available with a few choices of alcohol, I prefer it just with grappa. It gives you a lot of energy Some drink it instead of Red Bull, and I totally understand this approach Very affordable 2 Euros at the Piazza with Cathedral.




Further plan - some shopping including collecting order from one of the stores in the city, and to the apartment for a shower, some rest, and then back for lunch and Uffizi, which is booked for 2 pm.
