Certaldo

Off to the small town of Certaldo today by train. Certaldo is in two parts Certaldo Basso is the lower part and the bit we were off to Certaldo Alto is the medieval upper part.

Certaldo Alto (the bit the tourist wants to see) is normally reached by a funicular which is 157 ft high with a maximum steepness of 49% alas it was closed today and there was a replacement mini bus! Tuesday was also the day when the museum was closed... hey ho. But it was lovely to walk around the streets and it was pretty quiet except for a party of school children...

Palazzo Pretorio

The Funicular

And back to Florence for a stroll.
