Packed up camp and met Chris & Maureen in Lucca again.  They took the boys off for the day so that we could 'attempt' to the get the car fixed.  Left the car at CarGlass who fitted a temporary sheet of plexi-glass to the window to make it 'driveable', and ordered a new window to be fitted in Florence.   While we waited M and I went into the police station and completed the police report necessary for the insurance.  We had lunch in the piazza (a different restaurant) which was nice.  Picked up the car and left Lucca headed for Florence. Called in to Montecatini (famous for it's health spa and birthplace of Pinnoccio?) and met up with Chris to reclaim the boys.  Had a drink at the health spa which was impressice and would've been really something in it's heyday.  Said goodbye and thanks to Chris and Maureen and headed down the road to Florence.  Drove to Camping Michealangelo who were full, but they let us stay in one of thier on-site tents for the same price as camping.  Fantastic location for a campground.  Pizza from the camp restaurant, overlooking the city . . .
