A trip to Lucca

The weather has made decision-making difficult. The temperature has dropped a lot, and we had sleet on Wednesday night - ie snow on higher ground.  After a night of thunder and lightning, however,  the morning showed promise, so we headed off for the Lucca train yesterday (Friday).

The day continued to improve, so after a cappiccino, we hired bikes and did a circuit of the wall, and a run through the less busy streets of the town - enormous fun!

Back in Barga, courtesy of Jean, we went out for a meal, which was excellent as usual (the Altana), but omitted getting a photograph unfortunately - having too good a time I doot!

Despite the rain, we managed a barbecue on Thursday
