We crossed over to the Oltrano, with a hazy goal of reaching the battlements of Fort Belvedere. We passed the Pitti Palace and walked up to the gates leading into the Boboli Gardens. It was nice to have a bit of a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city.
We found our way up to Fort Belvedere only to see that it was closed. Ah, well. We walked back across the river to the Uffizi where Lee had fallen in love with a painting, but hadn't bought it the day before. With fingers crossed, we found the painter in the same place and, lo and behold! The painting was still there. It's now in its new home in Carmel.
We returned to the hotel to gather our bags and headed to the train station to catch our ride to Venice.
