There's a definite chill in the air this morning....summer is fast approaching an untimely end! Today I'm dreaming of the hot, hazy days I spent in Tuscany back in July 2008.
We were based in the Garfagnana region, in this lovely old converted farmhouse with a pool and views of the Apuan Aps, just perfect to come back to after a hard day's touring...
La Pozza
We were well-placed for exploring the walled cities of Lucca and Barga.....

And for day-trips to the magnificent cities of Florence and Pisa...

Bartolomeo Ammanati's Fountain of Neptune (1563–1565), Piazza della Signoria, Florence
Leaning Tower of Pisa, Piazza del Duomo

ReplyDeletejamie-lee ....I think I need to go back to Paris in spring/summer as in mid winter it was not looking its best :-)
I miss Italy. Sorta. Thinking of travelling again but not quite sure of where too. If only money wasn't so much of an issue.
