Lucca is wonderful. I am staying in a hostel, which was a centuries old convent.

Yesterday I;

• Walked and walked, often round in circles, as nothing to orientate oneself with with tall buildings and narrow streets




• Climbed 250 steps of a tower - view worth it and there were two trees planted on top of the tower




• Ate octopus and prawn salad and bread in Napolian Square


• Visited a 15th century villa - furnishing, decorations most over powering


• Went to a concert of opera solos in a discused church. Puccini was born here.


• Had lovely dinner of regional food in another square

Today I have ridden a bicycle around the wall.
