After a few teething problems (no electricity), we have now settled into our spacious apartment within the walls of Lucca, located in an “antique palace built in the year 1570” http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p812048. We decided to use Lucca as a base to explore Tuscany. It is a very pretty and relaxed town completely enclosed by large ancient walls now used as a promenade to circle the old town. We have again been blessed by beautiful weather and have been enjoying rides around the 4.5 km wall. We have also been enjoying the local food and wine, not to mention the fabulous gelato. We plan to spend the next five days driving around Tuscany to see as much as possible before heading to Burgundy for a few days before Paris and then home – if we can fit on the plane.
