Last day in Lucca

Today we climbed lots of steps. We climbed up a tower called Torre Guinigi. It had lots of stairs (233 steps) and Mama thought she would really struggle, but she did an amazing job.

When we reached the top, there were 7 oak trees on the roof. We met some nice people from the US and some people from AUS.

Torre Guinigi is the tallest tower in Lucca and nothing is allowed to be taller than it. The tower is from the year 1400.

We then rode around the city wall on 4 person bike, that may or may not have been electric (it was electric but Papa is too ashamed to tell anyone) with a cover on top.

The walls around Lucca were erected during the Renaissance. They are among the best city walls that are still fully intact. The walls make the city of Lucca famous.

We went to the best gelato in Lucca. I had cookie flavour.

We wanted to go all the way around the wall, but a bit of it was closed because of the Lucca Summer Festival.

We rode back the way we came and went home.Read more
