After
Florence we headed to Lucca and Pisa.
Pisa was an extremely short stop for us
because kids under 8 are not allowed to climb the tower at all, and kids over 8
are required to hold a parent’s hand.
Having 2 kids under 8 and a stubborn older kid, it was clear that climbing
Pisa Tower is not in our plans but we still wanted to stop by and see it.
Unfortunately, there is not much else to do
in Pisa and we headed to Lucca.

Lucca is a small Italian town but it is so incredibly
charming that we all really loved it. We
stopped in a fairly small hotel that had a pool and interestingly despite the
fact that Lucca is really small, the hotel was full of British tourists. It’s hard to describe the town; it’s everything
that you see in the movies when they show small Italian towns. We walked on the main cobble stone streets,
we rode 5 person bike in the park, we saw the face Italian Renaissance wall
that encircled the city, we ate lunch at a small charming Italian restaurant
enjoying the sun and people watching – Lucca was absolutely magnificent. And by the way the town was originally built
in 180BC!
