Lucca
So we are docked today at Livorno, relatively close to Florence and Pisa, both places that I love but also places that I have been to may times before and really do not think would be manageable for a few hours in a heatwave, therefore we headed off to Lucca. I have only heard of this as my cousins visited recently. What a hidden gem! A walled city with its very own wonky tower. It was hot but the buildings created enough shower to be able to walk around for a couple of hours before having a celebratory gelato whilst listening to a busking opera singer, well it is the home of Puccini, what more would you expect. I would highly recommend Lucca for a short break but maybe not in the heat of August. Headed back to the ship for a long drink and a swim in a very cloudy and crowded swimming pool.
