Lucca (June 7)

On Thursday we visited Lucca, a beautiful town not too far from Florence. It was pleasant and calm, with little traffic. We started out at the Duomo.

After that, we walked around a lot. We also climbed the Torre delle Ore, a 50-meter high medieval tower. I found the climb quite taxing, and fell asleep when we reached the top.

Fortunately I woke up before we went down again, because the view was too nice to be missed.
Here I am just beginning to wake up.

And here I am fully awake again, ready to walk down 200+ steps!
