Into Lucca

We got the fast train into Lucca this morning.  Although the town was in the throes of preparations for the annual comic book festival, with marquees going up in every piazza, there were still coffees to be had, sights to be seen, and shops to be shopped.

Betty on the walls 

Gazing on the marvels of San Michele ...

... and the marvels of the jewellery shops in Via Fillungo

A rainbow of woollen goods ("cheap!" I was told - aye right ...)

Later, Betty relaxes with a bit of Mah Jongg before a blazing log fire ...
