Up for an early lap on the path atop the wall around the nice quiet Lucca, after yesterday's busy trip around Florence.

Rented bikes and rode the Tuscan countryside out to Pisa.
Bit of a hassle getting out of town but it was nice on the open road.
Also tootled around Pisa on bikes, and did a lap of the wall for some car-free riding.

Day trip to Florence.

My bro had a friend who lived there and gave us a page of notes. Bash planned an ambitious precision route. We visited the Pitti palace, the Gallileo museum, St Croce church where Gallileo and Michaelangelo are buried, but also a gastronomic tour de force with an amazing chocolate croissant and coffee, the best pizza in Florence, the best artisanal gelato, the best sandwich of my gluttonous brother's life and a visit to the Mercato Central.

Nice trip around Cinqueterre. Train down, boat along the coast.
Crazy little villages crammed high on cliffs and in between them. Seafood, grilled veggies, wine and gelato.
