Lucca

We have enjoyed a day exploring Lucca and shopping in the historic centre. There are some fine restaurants here specializing in the use of local Tuscan ingredients with their own take on traditional dishes. Of course the selection of local wine to wash it down is also greatly appreciated. Tomorrow off to explore the Garfagnana area.
