    First stop cemetery to see graves of Jacko's great grand parents. Then to Valdottova to see Giovanna (distant relative to Guazzelli's). She is 90 and amazing. She walked us down to her local Cafe and insisted on buying coffee for us. Not being coffee drinkers Filip & Nicolo had a coke, Jacko had a beer and I had a wine. Mind you this was 10.20am! We reluctantly left her for Lucca. After lunch in the main Piazza of the walled city, we visited the Torture Museum. Sadistic goings on back then. Next stop the Devils Bridge. See photos. Final stop Pisa and the Leaning Tower. What a structure. We climbed the 251 steps to the top. Took some doing! View awesome again. Booked into accommodation. Walked 1km to have tea in recommended restaurant. Good choice. Back by 9pm. Bed time.Read more
