Had to get up early today as we were catching a train to Lucca for the day. The bus down to Montecatini Terme runs very infrequently, so it meant quite a long wait at the station in both directions, but was another great day out. Lucca has huge brick 16C ramparts built around the city with a wide path lined with trees - very pleasant to walk around so long you avoid the hundreds of cyclists! We ate our picnic up there looking down into this pretty garden.
I've been walking a lot easier today, so we wandered among the little streets, seeing decorated churches and lots more towers.
There was a Roman amphitheatre, but years ago it was mined for building stone, but the perfect oval shape was used as a base for medieval houses, so now creates an open piazza.
This is our set-up here at the camping showing the ensuite bathrooms - 4 to a pod - John is busy tidying the van garage!
