Lucca to Genoa
Today's journey turned out to be a little longer than we had imagined though we are typing this from hotel number 3 in Genoa, so we clearly made it in one piece.
It started off wet and yukky in Lucca and we got the chance to find out that the windscreen wipers worked rather well - and that Sergio is surprisingly refined with the top closed. Bob even fits - just.

'Merica
... that would lose our streak of 82 years!!! This was the most amazing soccer I have ever been too and leaving the stadium seeing no one cheer was upsetting, until we ran into a bunch of Americans!
Leaving Genoa was the most stressful thing on this adventure because we didn't have a ride home being that it was all sold out. The next train was to leave at 6 a.m. and it was only 11 p.m.. We were all getting a bit cranky, but in no time we cheered back up and were starting ...
