A Day Within The Walls

I got myself a Lucca haircut today.  I’m in danger of being like the sax player in The Commitments who got kicked out of the band for getting a “jazz haircut”.
My goodness, Lucca is gorgeous!  We started the day with brunch at Cafe Santa Zita in which I spied the coffee machine to which I aspire.  Then we popped into the World’s Greatest Wine Shop and Cellar (Enoteca Vanni) which is mind blowing.  They have in excess of 50 000 bottles of wine in there and I will include some photos which simply do not do justice to the scope of the cellar.  In the coming weeks we will go back and book a wine tasting.  We spent a lazy hour or so in the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro watching other tourists who were equally watching us.  Finally we hired a biceclette and a couple of pushbikes and did a lap of the walls, before returning to our villa for a quiet evening tasting the spoils of our visit to Enoteca Vanni.
Did I mention that Lucca is gorgeous?
