Lucca Day 5 - Pisa

Well I flew home last night. As I flew home from Pisa it made sense to spend it there. As I got off the train the heavens opened lol.

To be honest Pisa is a bit of a one trick pony, There's the field of Miracles, Baptistry, Dump and Tower and after that it lacks a little charm. The botanical garden is nice bu5 on a wet day?





















Now I walked into town and soon the rain abated!



Church of S. Nicola PP Agostiniani







Church of Santa Maria Della Spina














Despite the weather last 2 days a good trip. So relaxing

Lucca Day 4 - the heavens opened

Well the forecast wasn't good and boy it hammered down. So I ducked into some churches, drunk some coffee and had a spot of lunch in a restaurant I've passed many times.

So first church St Michele di Fire
















Garibaldi 




The door at the top of the steps had holes in. The cat squeezed through them.



So the duomo





























And on we trot


I believe this Roman column was rescued from the old amphitheatre 


The church of Santa Maria Foris Portam





















Finally the Basilica San Frediano. It's the one with the lovely painting from day 1. Looks nicer in the sun 😂
