Ponte Vecchio - Nearly Home to the Italian Waffle

The Ponte Vecchio is an ancient bridge with shops hanging off the sides as if they were put there as part of a seven year olds fort building project. A fort that has lasted since the 1300's. The shops are havens for the daimond and jewelery masters of Firenze, and they are definitely worthy of their reputation.
Just before you reach there is an unobtrusive "gelaterria" housing the prized gift of Italy - the Italian Waffle. Smaller than its Belgian predecessor it also seem to be infinitely more tasty and perfectly crunchy. It can form the foundation for a variety of delicous compositions, "waffle with gelato", "waffle with fruit", and the heavenly "waffle with warm chocolate nutella".
Visit the Piazzo Signoria for its Il David, Perseus (chopping off Medusas cabeza) and other fantasic sculptures on the way to the Uffizi. You could also hang out with the mimes and Spanish guitarist during the day.
Mercato Nuova is a mysterious place, during the day its a busy merchant filled square. Sometime before sundown, all of the kiosks and merchant wares are carted away in some strange procession, like a caravan train to Alibaba's hidden cave.
