EXPLORING LUCCA

We climbed to the top of one of the many bell towers to view Lucca from above. 

This tower had trees growing on top of it.

The city was full of charm with friendly happy locals. One night after dinner, Cliff & I went for a walk and came across a street where everyone was dancing on the road (there is no room in the bars)  they were having such a great time. Now you need to understand - the roads are only wide enough for one car, so when a car wanted to pass they would all dance backwards towards the building, let the car through & then dance back to the centre of the road. 

We bought a vino & stood back to watch the fun

Everyone eats very late in Lucca  - we came across a group of children playing soccer at 10pm while mums & dads were eating at the local cafe.

"Husband day care centre" in the piazza - Cliff & Doug quite liked the sound of this one.

You could wander this city for days & not come across the same street twice.

Plenty of international entertainers coming to Lucca for the Summer Festival.

For lunch we decided to go back to our eclectic restaurant to celebrate the birth of our new grandson "Daniel Alexander Connor" - We were feeling very proud.
