trip to lucca

Got up early, had breakfast. Then Gill donated us two bananas, then escorted us an amazing bakery wherr we bought two almond croissants with custard inside. The Gill took us to the train station and put us on our first train. 

From Venice Santa Lucia we went to Venice Mestre. Here we had had an half an hour to change here and then we took a train to prato which we again and half an hour to change onto a train to lucca. 

When arrived we got lost. Did a few circle around the place we thought the house was. Finally we went down a tiny back alley and found the tiny sign saying da Francesco (the place we were staying). Got into the appartment and met the host. Room was super dusty and there was no wifi. Bini had a zertec immediately and we both went to bed. 

Went out to lunch and had a pasta to share. Got hit with the table service fee we weren't expecting. Ah well we'll learn the one eventually. 

Our mission today was to find an adapter that would change our fat stemmed European to Australia to the thin stemmed European plugs they use in italy. Walked out of old town to a place called euronics, after much  searching we found what we were looking for. We can charge our phones!!! Wooo also I na charge my shaver and shave which will make bini happy. On the way back we had a great walk around lucca looking at all the shops. Had a decent gelato and made out to way home. 

Went out to dinner as the house has a kitchen but we aren't allowed to use it.... Went to a lovely restaurant with a really nice waiter. Bini had wild boar stew with potato mash, I had lasagne, not as good mummies! 

Went the bed and was sad without internet. Ah well a successful day. Sadly no pictures.
