lucca rest day

Woke up late and went to a nearby patisserie for breakfast and ate two glazed croissants. Very nice. 

Then went exploring around lucca for food. Found a wonderful fresh fruit store and bought some peaches. Also found a carre fore supermarket which bini used the have as a child. Went in and bought some ham and cheese. Next visited a bakery and got a fresh baguette. 

Went home and made lunch while also researching the best place the hire bikes so that we could ride around the walls of Lucca. 

Found a place called raja bike hire, went there and hire a tandem bike....... Naturally them I terrified bini. Heheh bini hadn't been on one before and it was great fun... And also very funny. Took us a while to get it under control but once we had all good. Neither of us killed the other so happy times. Bini didn't drive  much as she couldn't touch the ground from the front seat. 

Ah well had a lovely ride for two hours. Did two laps of Lucca and had a great time. Had lunch on the wall

 the ham wasn't great but the cheese was good and naturally bini smothered it all in Tabasco anyway. 

Went out to dinner to the big outside circle in lucca. We took forever to decide on a place then eventually decided on a fairly fill place which had stake and a nice meat ball pasta. Bini had the stake which was amazing!! I had the meat balls which were also very good. 

Went home hoping for a good sleep. However that wasnt going to be the case tonight as the Lucca summer festival was on and in the big square outside our appartment there had been a huge stage set up and a band called prisoner 709 was playing. Concert stopped at 12 not sure if that was because it started raining but either way we finally got some sleep.
