Day 23 Rest day Lucca

Today I went to a laundromat and washed all my clothes apart from what I was wearing. Coffee and pastry while o was waiting for it. Hand washing daily does not really clean things properly. Then I Wandered around the city and found the Duomo to get myself a stamp. They also gave me a certificate which I think is the story of the Bishop of Lucca’s pilgrimage. The Duomo also has the pilgrims labyrinth on the outside. Puccini memorial is also on the wall of the duomo. It is his birth place and did a lot of his composing there. Lunch was bruschetta in a piazza. Maybe the tomato tree made me think I needed tomatoes. There is an old Roman amphitheater in the middle of town which some of he outside has been retained but the majority has been turned into houses and shops. Then back to my room to rest my feet and start repacking my backpack for tomorrow. It’s going to be the longest day yet about 26km with a huge hill in the middle.Read more
