I've done the math, and my guidebook tells me that I have walked 589 km from my starting point (Echevennoz), and I now have 405 km to go until Rome. Therefore, I'm officially over 1/2 way! The PucciniЧитать далее

Lucca has really captured my heart. There is something very special about this place. The fact that the "old city" is still entirely encased by walls totally blows my mind. You see many fortifiedЧитать далее
Путешественник It looks like you could spend quite a few days there. So much to see. You must have clocked some kms on your rest day. We are having a rest day there as well, we’ll keep in mind the places you went to. Enjoy Puccini tonight. What a treat.
Carmel Carlsen Thanks Bernadette 😊. I have one more day here and I'm really glad that I took the two days

The Way (29 km) provided a nice change today. For the first 16 km, I walked through woodland and forest on wonderfully non sealed roads and pathways. A light rain started around 10:15 (it only lastedЧитать далее
Путешественник LUCCA ! According to Cicerone's Guide Book you've got 420 Km to Rome! I'm almost feeling it's too soon.
Carmel Carlsen I know what you mean Bruce. I'm feeling Rome is very close now - heavens knows why!

Путешественник Cindy and I r insanely jealous. so very happy you 2 r having the time of your life. how is swimming in the Mediterranean? temp? fisheys? haha
Путешественник swimming in the sea is wonderful. both Dave and I enjoy it more so due to the lack of sand and tiny pebbles. The water temp was perfect I would say 70 when we went which feels cold at first but after a few hours of sun it was perfect. We saw a few tiny fish they were translucent with a black streak on their tails. they were maybe 5 inches long so nothing to worry about. Dave preferred Amalfi coast better whereas I preferred Cinque Terre in terms of beautiful seaside destinations.

Путешественник Ui, das ist schon merkwürdig, von wegen keiner Schuld bewusst.
Путешественник Wie gesagt, gut dass euch nichts passiert ist. Gute Weiterfahrt. Die Daumen sind gedrückt für unkomplizierte Versicherungsabwicklung.
Путешественник Zu dem sehr schönen Urlaub passt das aber gar nicht. Wir hoffen, dass eure Rückfahrt gut verläuft und mit der Versicherung alles klappt

At our Puccini celebration concert, we heard bits and pieces from Madame Butterfly, Toscana, Turandot, La Boheme. One tenor and one mezzo-soprano who alternated. Then a couple of pieces together.Читать далее
Путешественник Had a very moving experience in Lucca just after 9/11, a whole series of memorials for the losses in the US and then dinner with a large Italian family at their home above Lucca. The city is greatly under-rated, we thought,

Do I see a Roman soldier decapitating a bishop on this sarcophagus or reliquary? Whose body or relics are in it? It is a stunning piece, despite the graphic violence.
Laurie Reynolds It’s a 13C Limoges reliquary and has a relic of st. Thomas Beckett. The scene depicts his murder. There’s a similar one in Leon in the pantheon of San Isidoro that I love. https://www.museosanisidorodeleon.com/en/the-tr…. ive seen one somewhere else but i cant remember where.
Путешественник I looked up this English saint whom I hadn't heard of: an Archbishop of Canterbury, murdered by the followers of the king. The San Isidoro reliquary: gorgeous.

A tree at the top, not something you would see often.
Carmel Carlsen No, and I have to wonder about the strength of the whole arrangement!
