Really had to do something special yesterday, so hit on a trip to Lucca and a bike hire. So after a visit to our neighbours at the farm for some pecorino, and to Barga market, we headed to the train.
Discovered that there is a sculpture exhibition in and around the town. The town was very busy as it is just preparing for the Comics festival which we enjoyed last year. Always something on in Lucca, it seems.
Outside the walls, cycled out a road lined with late 19th century Art-Nouveau villas, all with beautiful friezes done in coloured tiles.
After some traffic hassle, found the cycle route down by the river Serchio, where anglers and kayakers were doing their things.
Back in town just time for a beer and panini and a view of Via Filungo, Lucca's narrow main shopping street before making for the station. A full day.

| 7.20 pm - shopping like there's no tomorrow ... |
