Giorno Otto mercoledi 18th luglio


Yellow Hibiscus, Italy

Another hot day and relatively late start. As usual we called in at the local supermarket for picnic provisions on the way. Once more we headed for Lucca, past Ponte della Magdalena, the choice of whether to cross over at the bridge (there are two roads both with good and bad points) dependant on the driver in front – it became a bit of a joke throughout the week as Graham would look in his mirror and make the comment: “I have my entourage back” we always seemed to be at the head of any queue. Was that because our bubble car lacked power, or are the Italians just faster drivers? Anyway, by-passing Lucca, we travelled past the antique shop which proudly boasted ‘Aporto’ at all times of the day and night and on towards the direction of Pescia. Stomachs rumbling, we stopped at Buggiano (strangely onomatopoeic) for lunch.
