Florence, Day 1: Boboli Gardens

Finally, something I can take pictures of. Take pictures, I shall! As you move south from the Pitti Palace, you see...

A fountain and knot garden.


The gift shop.


Some kind of amphitheatre. Maybe. Those stone wall looking things are actually bleachers, I think.


The Poseidon fountain. I assume that, at some point in the past, it wasn't covered in a thick layer of grime and algae.


The scariest steps ever. These things were incredibly steep, pretty long, and not in very good repair. There was a thin wire that ran down the side, but I think it was more to indicate that you weren't allowed to walk on the grass, as opposed to preventing you from tripping and tumbling to your death.


A giant statue of something or other.


A very cool staircase.


Another fountain and knot garden.


Some cool random views from the knot garden.
