My Favourite Place In Lucca...

All too soon it was time to leave, Lucca, "I love you", especially the hand made leather shop in the Anfeteatro. Back at the house we did just a little tidying and waited for Jane to come and inspect for any damage and give us back our deposit of 140 Euros. For our last walk after our meal we walked round Longoio as dusk settled and the moon came out. Our first encounter was not with any wildlife, but a motorbike whizzing through the narrow streets making us take shelter in someone’s doorway. Afterwards when the dust had settled we saw, as we did last year, the luminous tails of fireflies glowing on and off like mini airplanes crossing the sky.

Again, it was a magical experience, like finding there are fairies at the bottom of the garden…
