A Couple of Bikies
After a sleep in and a leisurely breakfast we did some shopping near and around the amphitheatre. It is pretty swanky, so we were way out of our depth. However, with the help of a beautiful Italian girl, with the unlikely name of Yoko, we managed to buy a couple of shirts for Paul, in linen and in cotton.
Everyone gets around Lucca on bikes and so we hired a couple to ride around the wall at our own pace. We had a great time, we could see more, while taking the pressure off our feet a little bit. While we were riding we came across some sort of historic reinactment of loading and firing cannons. The performers were dressed appropriately, with the obligatory feather in their hats. The cannon were not large, in fact, quite petite, but the noise was deafening. All the Fifis and Gigis were howling - even I felt sorry for them!
A big concert is happening tonight. We had a nice time watching all the young ones coming and going as the evening cooled.
PS. We were delighted to hear of the birth of Greta Elizabeth, a daughter for Nicholas & Victoria and sister for Harry (poor boy - he won't know what's hit him)! In a very crowded July calendar, she did well to find a birth date of her own. Now I can shop in earnest for something that might suit a little girl.
Happy Birthday Glen - we hope you enjoyed yourself and finally scored some whiskey. Our love to you always.
Ciao
