... and we stayed until we were ready to retire for the evening.<br><br>Sat 14 Nov<br>Next day we had a sleep-in and then went for a run around the 4km city walls. Twice around was enough for Kim and I managed a 3rd. After a shower we were back in town for more meandering and I had one of the best Cupuccio's (Capuccino) ever!! We found a few hours during siesta to catch up with the ...

I had thought about going to a town which was half an hour away by train to look at a chocolate shop there which was supposed to be quite unique, but I didn&#8217;t feel very well and the thought of being on another local train didn&#8217;t appeal to me. I decided to look at the local chocolate shop in Lucca but it was closed on Mondays. The ...

... and then coming back to Riomaggiore station, walking through the tunnel to the town for a quick look, then went back to catch the trains home. What was amazing between La Spezia and Viareggio was the mountains where they quarry the Carrera marble and the large blocks of marble that lay in the yards. Both of the railway stations, despite being fairly grotty, had subways lined with marble as well as marble seats. We arrived home fairly late and were all tired.

Just realized those not on facebook haven't seen pictures from Pisa and Florence. No long recap of Anthony and I's weekend in Tuscany, for obvious reasons. Also note that "Anthony and Alison's Great Adventure" was like taking a knife.<br><br>Love you guys! :)<br>

... Medieval City Walls. <br><br>A trolley took us through Pisa center toward the Arno River which divides the city. We passed by the Gothic Church della Spina, the old port, the Town Hall, and the Piazza dei Cavalieri. A short stop at a local restaurant near the Field of Miracles offered a drink of Tuscan area wine. Here, we couldn't pass on purchasing a bottle of local Limoncello which we thought we would enjoy while relaxing ...

Cinque Terra is a series of five villages between Portofino and <br>Livorno. Terribly rugged coastline terraced for vineyards. I again <br>forgot iPod photos of the most beautiful sections so that will have to <br>wait. This is the main street of Vernazza. Limited road access. Foot, <br>train ...

... looking fabulous, and 4 or 5 pursers trying to reign them all in. that's one job that i would totally suck at - purser. i didn't have my laminex for our first port which was monte carlo. that was sad because i was really looking forward to seeing it. it looked lovely from the ship... not much of a consulation, but oh well! i guess i'll just have to go there on vacation someday. after a trip to the medical for a busted-up toe and a bit of a lie-in, i ...

... t a good idea on my own, although I was rather jealous of all the climbers we saw coming up. Hanging around there watching the climbers small as ants snaking their way in little troupes across the glacier towards the little blue lake and eventually the steps, we realised it wasn't patches of melting snow, the glacier was underneath, we could see huge cracks big enough for a person to fall into. It just looked all grey and rocky like that because of all the ...

At 8.30 AM we leave our motel in Kriens and continue our trip to Livorno. We have to be there tonight at 8 PM to board the ferry. We stop at a road side restaurant to have breakfast and to buy some bread for lunch. In Italy there is no "vignette" for the highways but you pay at toll booths. Because we have enough time, we decide to take the smaller roads. This way we don't have to pay the ...
