Driving to Lucca

Today we walked a short distance to the ferry station.

The ferry was very crowded, especially with our luggage. On the ferry Papa nearly got pickpocketed, but he felt it just in time.

We then picked up our hire car and drove for 3 hours.

We arrived in Lucca and went to our Bed and Breakfast. I met the owners of the hotel. One of them is called Costanza and the other is basically my new Nonna, I don't remember her name so I call her Nonna. Our room is called Melograno. It means pomegranate. The building is called La Chiusa delle Monache. It use to be a monastery. There are only 3 rooms available so it is cosy.

We met up with Stijn, Papa's friend and had lunch/dinner with him. He drove here from the Netherlands to have some holiday time with us.

While we were eating a Roman Legion (fake) walked past. It was really cool to be sent back in time to a scene like that. They had a drummer and he was going Boom Boom Boom. There were soldiers and generals.

They marched through the streets.
