It was a later start, so we had a morning walk around our Agrotourismo. It's right out in the country, lots of fields with small kitchen gardens, and bee hives. There is a co-op for local products just down the road. The train from Castelnovo de Garfagnana to Lucca takes about 1 hour & costs 11 euros return. Lucca is a lovely walled town, you can rent a bike and ride right round the town on top of the walls. It only takes a little over 30 min, and is a great way to see the town. Afterwards we had pizza for lunch, and walked through the town. Quite crowded in places. It was mainly sunny today and hot, there was a short rain shower as we were heading back on the train.
Our cook Chiara gave us a cooking lesson on our return; lentil soup, mushroom rissotto & marinated roasted pork. The meals here have been outstanding! Relaxing evening sitting around chatting, some excitement caused by a scorpion sighting.
