Lucca to Genoa
... it was a lot of fun as you could see enough, just, and Sergio turned out to be a lot of fun to throw round the bends. Then the fog got thicker and we just had to accept a crawling speed. We actually had to stop at one point to make out a crucial road sign. This was less fun.

After a maze of small streets and poor street signs I made it ...
'Merica
