Scorching heat. Gelato. Oh, and a bloody good friend.
No bikes, just tourism for a few days. Siestas mandatory.
Big win on the
AirBNB apartment - a great location to see beautiful Lucca.
This last few days was about rest and relaxation. We sampled local delicacies including the saltiest seafood meal ever, cooked the most delicious pasta sauce ever, tried craft beers and of course gorged on the fine gelato from the good folks at Veneta (just 15 metres from the apartment).

| Excellent walking tour with our 'Look at Lucca' guide |
 |
| Some of the best preserved (Renaissance era) city walls anywhere |
 |
| St Michael's? A church that was once outside the town walls. The columns are recycled Roman ruins. |
 |
| Looking at the outside of the old colosseum. |
 |
| One of the many towers in Lucca - families built these to display their power |

| On top of the city walls - strengthened by tree roots and now a shady stroll on a hot day |
