Viareggio Part 1

This morning we got up and went to explore Viareggio, where we are staying. We headed out to spy on some restaurants and found a market on the one street and wandered through that. Afterwards I was like everything felt cheap which was odd. Raymond said yes it did… it was like an open air thrift store, which after he said that I was like yes! Yes, it was!

Then we wandered to a bakery to see if they had vegan treats, and they did! They were pretty tasty. Then through the park and we saw some Nutria swimming around! Then on to the far end of the promenade where Google said was the busy section and wandered back along the promenade. Man it wasn’t that hot yet, but the far end of the promenade was all whites stones and it was so hot walking on it! All the sun was reflected back at us and it was awful! Plus it was just private beach clubs. Though there were some fun sculptures.

Then we got to the nicer part of the promenade with stores and restaurants (as well as the private beach clubs) and we found the main market! It went forever and was pretty nice wandering and spying. I even found a couple of table clothes as I don’t have any that fit my giant table. It was funny as I was looking at them everyone was like these are the huge ones are you sure that is what you want? And I was like Yes! I have a giant table! I do need the 3m ones!

It took us longer to walk back than I expected because of the market, but it was a pretty fun morning. The town is not much except the promenade and beach, though the public beach is kind of far away. I think most people come and just have a beach day.Read more
