In Lucca

On Wednesday we took the train back to Lucca from Florence.  Lucca was a half-way house, as the next day, D&D needed to get to Pisa for their flight, and we were to go back to Barga.

The lights and illuminations in Lucca were beautiful, our hotel (15th century, natch) was superb and we had a great meal in an osteria just by the amphitheatre.

Next day, after making our farewells, B&B paid an overdue visit to the Lucca museum which is basically an ancient palace, intact and with all the trimmings.
Light show on the side of the Basilica San Michele ...
... and on the walls of the houses lining the amphitheatre 
... and forming a backdrop to B&D on the way to our meal
The big mirror allowed me to take a photo without getting up!
