佛罗伦萨 - 山上的夜景 *Florence - The Night View (11 Aug 08)

晚上的时候， 我们搭巴士上山看佛罗伦萨的风景。这一趟巴士可以在巴士总站搭。巴士票可以在巴士站里随便一间的书店或士多买。可以买一本的，散卖得也有。如果人多，不妨买一本的，买一本的价钱会比较便宜一点点。每一张票价是1.20 欧元。上了巴士后别忘了要自己在巴士上打卡，被查到卡没打可是要付罚款的。





从山上看下，最让人一目了然的是Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore.

佛罗伦萨 *Florence - 街头走走+ Palazzo Pitty + 日市 (11 Aug 08)

来到佛罗伦萨是我们唯一没找到地图的地方。没有了地图，真的好像残废一样，不懂该做些什么，去那里。之前走的都是靠旅游手册的介绍去的，问题是这本旅游手册没有佛罗伦萨详细的地图。。。。后来，我们也之好随便逛了。

小华突然戴起我的草帽来。。。。






小巷两旁的屋子都考得很近。能从家里看到旷阔的蓝天是非常奢侈的享受。



Palazzo Pitty, 佛罗伦萨德另一个画廊。



这几天一直这样走，走到脚都起泡了。。。











站在桥边大展雁翅，真为他捏一把冷汗！


外表看来很酷很轻松，其实心里一直纳闷不懂要往哪里走。


午餐时间，肚子饿了。这回我们在一家快餐厅吃午餐。但店里的座位满了，我们又不想等，买了十五就很随兴的坐在小巷的路边吃。



下一站去哪里？


这就是佛罗伦萨有名的日市。这里卖的东西琳琅满目。卖家开的价钱都是天价，但只要你懂得杀价，有时候可以用一半的原价买到你想要的东西。



这里很多apron都很酷！



这里什么都多，最多的是真皮制的皮带、手袋、皮包等等。






走了那么久，天气又那么热，再来一个Gelato吧！


又经过Basilica di Santa Maria Fiore了

佛罗伦萨 *Florence - Piazzale degli Uffizi & Ponte Vecchio (11 Aug 08）

Palazzo Vecchio 附近就是Piazzale degli Uffizi，附近就是很出名的画廊-Galleria degli Uffizi (英语是 Uffizi Gallery)。Uffizi 画廊里收藏了很多Renaissance时候的名画。参观Uffizi画廊的票价是 €8.50一人，我们又不懂艺术，我们没进去参观这画廊。参观伦敦的国家画廊 (NationalArt Gallery) 一分钱都不用给，只是不能在里面拍照罢了。如果不参观Uffizi画廊，不如到Uffizi 广场(Piazzaledegli Uffizi) 走走。Uffizi 广场和其他的广场不一样。通常广场是四四方方的，但Uffizi的广场却是一条很长的走廊。

Piazzale degli Uffizi stands very near to Palazzo Vecchio. Next to Piazzale degli Uffizi is Galleria degli Uffizi, or in English it is known as Uffizi Gallery. This gallery collects lots of famous painting and drawing from Renaissance. The admission fee to this gallery is 8.50 Euro per person. We didn't enter as we don't know anything about arts, we were not cultivated with all these cultures. The above photo was taken from Piazzale degli Uffizi, it's an long retangular open area.

照片里的那条桥是Ponte Vecchio，建立于Arno河的左右两岸。这条桥的特色是桥上有很多间首饰店。在桥上，你可以找到很多金铺。来到Ponte Vecchio，不要忘了买它最水出名的水晶首饰。这桥早在996年已经存在，但好像被大水淹过了无数次。
Behind me is Ponte Vecchio. It was found in year 996, built across Arno River and this bridge has been washed away a few times by flood. What make this bridge special is all jewellery shops in Florence are opened on this bridge. Don't forget to get some crystals from here as it is believed Florence is one of the place produces the most beatiful crystal on earth.

Found this on our way walking to Ponte Vecchio.

Hubby said it is heavy!

Photo taken n Ponte Vecchio.

一整排的首饰店。看看他们的柜子，很特别。收工的时候就把上面的木板放下来，然后下面的木板再推上去就可以了。

The shelves are special made shelves. Pull down the board and lock them with a lock pad, that's all they need to do before closing the shop in the evening.

View from Ponte Vecchio. This is Arno River.

佛罗伦萨 *Florence - Plazzo Vecchio & Piazza della Signoria (11 Aug 08)

Palazzo Vecchio 和 Piazza della Signoria是佛罗伦萨相当热闹的旅游胜地。Palazzo Vecchio在很久以前是佛罗伦萨的town hall，本来当地的人是想把它建成皇宫的。Palazzo Vecchio 的旁边是一个海王的喷水池。除了喷水池外，这建筑物的前方就是一片大广场(Piazza della Signoria)。广场的周围都放满了石雕像，其中有大卫的雕像。但来到这里不可以手痒痒去碰这些雕像，警卫可会骂的哦！在广场周围看雕像时不用付钱的，但如果要进去Palazzo Vecchio 就得付费！

Plazzo Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria are two welknown tourist spots in Florence. The initial plan for building Palazzo Vecchio was to make it as the royal palace, but then it was converted to become city town hall. A big Naptune Fountains stands next to Palazzo Vecchio. Besides that, there is also a huge plaza in front of the building - Piazza della Signoria. Many statues are placed in this plaza. No admission fee is required for visiting plaza and the statues, but one is required to pay some minimum charges to enter Palazzo Vecchio.

一路上走向Plazzo Vecchion时看到一群学生正在作画。

A group of students were scratching and drawing.

Behind me is Piazza della Signoria.

This is one of the statues stands in front of Plazzo Vecchio.

David's statue also stands in front of Plazzo Vecchio.

There were lots of statues placed in Piazza della Signoria.
