Day 27 Lucca and adventures to Cambassi

Today I enjoyed a Positive grateful Camino day. It has its huddles but as my Son Richard would say "adventures with ups & downs" are always positive.
I decided I didn't need to walk the 28ks to San Miniato..
Then I said to myself why not skip the following hilly 24+Ks to Gambassi Terme. So Bookings.com to the rescue (but not quite).
Rome2Rio gave me a Train Bus plan which was eventually successful.
After lunch, I proceed to my accommodation. The map said 1.3Ks. Long story short the address given was totally wrong. Good Italian's pulled, saw me in a fuffle. Phoned the proper address ... spoke extensively, then drove up to a beautiful heritage home. It got worse. Said I couldn't have the room I booked. I was to be credited but then booked into a tiny room. Further I was miles from the town center. Also I was to stay in the mansion alone the 1st night. The 2nd night it was booked out.
Lucky Brucee then got the best outcome. After telling the receptionist I was not happy, she then got me an apartment at €25 a night (versus €80 p.n.)
This is in an Albergue, in the centre of this small VF Camino Town. Fellow Pilgrims, all happy and enjoying their journeys
