@kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @ivan We have a house up in the mountains near the town of Lucca (about an hour's train ride from Pisa). A quiet and very friendly area! Have you ever been?
We drove down to Pisa, Siena, Florence etc. more than once years ago. Two years ago we had a tour of Tuscany and Umbria - 'Medieval Cities'; Arezzo, Montepulciano, Orvieto, Siena, L. Trasimeno, San Gimignano, Assisi and of course Florence. Super tour. Didn't get to Lucca though! Sounds - and looks - a beautiful area.
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @ivan In fact I've just been to Lucca and have posted some pictures. If you get the chance, do visit! It has great character and the old town is especially attractive. It is possible to walk around the medieval walls in an hour or less. @nicoleterheide Thanks Nicole x 2! @monkeykid Thanks Therese!
