Lucca - part 3

The last thing Sarah and I did in Lucca was make our way over to the Torre Guinigi. This was such a beautiful town and such a beautiful day that there were bound to be some fantastic views.


Just like Florence, Bologna, San Gimignano, and about every other Italian city I've been to, Lucca used to have quite a few towers similar to this one. Not many survived the middle ages and the Renaissance, but there are still a few great ones out there. This one even had trees growing at the top!


You always have to pay a price to get to the spectacular views. Both money and a long climb. I don't think this one was too expensive.


However, as this sign shows, the way was fraught with danger.


But Sarah was there to lead the way.


We made it safely. And with smiles on.


We joined the trees and a few Italian teenagers at the top and took in the lovely views. I don't have much to say about them. Well, nothing really. So I'll let the pictures do the talking.




















The end.
