Boboli Gardens

So and that's, that's the main part of it.

There's also for the Boboli Gardens, which they also own behind the Pitti Palace.

They are plant- I think two years ago they started planting all sorts of extra trees and bushes to increase the, like, the botanical aspect of the garden.

This is going to continue.

Hmm.

You might be routed in weird ways.

It looks like for the Boboli Gardens a lot of the statues are covered.

The fountain is empty.

To breakfast in one's bedroom, where one can partake of the meal in dressing gown and bedroom slippers, is not conducive to trigness of attire, and, to our notions, the mistress of a Florentine house might not represent an ideal picture of tidiness were we to call on her in the early hours of the morning.

But when she goes out to mass, or, later in the day, to walk in the Boboli Gardens or drive in the Cascina, all is changed.

The Boboli Gardens, which run up the hill from the Pitti Palace, are very beautiful and are also interesting from a botanical point of view.

For, being laid out in the quarries from which the stone was taken to build the Pitti Palace and other structures, they are naturally very sheltered, and all sorts of rare and tropical plants grow luxuriantly in them.

In fact, they are more or less show gardens where one walks primly about and admires the plants or sits gratefully in the shade on hot afternoons.
