Normal service resumes. On the recommendation of Giovanna had a fantastic dinner at an Osteria in the middle of nowhere – so much so that we couldn’t believe anything was there until we eventually found it. And the macaroni with pesto and mint (amongst other stuff) was fabulous.
And then to the business of Lucca. It’s always confusing to a)find a place, park etc. and b) get your bearings and find your way around. Lucca is nicely confusing as it has no central centre (as it were).
Coffee by what we thought was the cathedral (it isn’t).
This is.
See a tower and you have to climb it (233 steps if you’re interested). And worth it.
That really is a tower with trees on top – save that one till Friday.
And to show our confidence back to the house for a rest, then back to Lucca for another fabulous recommendation from Giovanna, all without a satnav. And it really is pretty warm, but watch out for the storm clouds.
