I have been away on a short break to Lucca in Tuscany this week where I met up with my aunt and uncle. Left my "boys" behind and took way too many photos but it is an amazing town with complete bastions and walls surrounding it which are 500 years old and are a fantastic recreational area with spectacular trees and views. There are traces of the roman town in Piazza del Amfiteatro which is the only oval piazza in the world, lots of mediaeval buildings and churches and some more recent as well as amazing shops, many with the original art nouveau fronts intact . I also visited Palazzo Pfanner with it's lovely Italianate garden, the botanical gardens and the house where composer Puccini was born.
I immediately noticed that it is a bike friendly place so here's a first look at Lucca with pedal power in mind. Spot the tandem and monocycle! |
I have a thing about bikes.......so I was in my element looking at your pics.
I like picture number 3.....such vibrant sunny colours...but my fave has to be number 1.......but I cannot put my finger on just why.
