Day 10: Friday 11th July
Today was meant as a leisure day. A lie in after a late night, time to admire our surroundings before another heart-wrenching departure and time not to think about tomorrow. We had a walk along the rough track down the road to the local church. Longoio is a hamlet and doesn’t have a church, but the village seems to have adopted one that was built in the woods about a mile away. Tucked away as it is we were surprised to find two workmen busy putting the final touches to what appeared a complete renovation. It looked stunning with its newly painted white walls and was sporting a brand new roof.
Having made our way back to the house we grabbed what we had for a picnic, lobbed it all in the car and headed off for Lucca. We visit Lucca every year as it is a lovely walled town and every year there is something new to discover and explore. This time we managed to park in a completely different part of the town and with map in hand, headed to Piazza Napoleone. Each year Lucca plays host to concerts by really well known rock stars. The first year we came, Elton John had just played here and this year they've booked more big names like Sheryl Crow, Mick Hucknall, Chicago and will finish with Leonard Cohen who by all accounts has just caused a storm with his brilliant concert at the O2 Arena (I heard it first hand from someone who went)
