Lucca
Sunnuntaina päätettiin katsastaa Luccan nähtävyydet ja kadut ennen kuin poistutaan. Lähialueet on koluttu hyvinkin tarkkaan, mutta “koti”kaupunki on jäänyt huonolle. Luccassa on vanha torni, joka itsessään on toki nähtävyys, mutta hauskan tästä tornista tekee sen, että siellä kasvaa iso puu sisällä. No koiraa sinne ei saanut viedä, joten valokuvaaja läksi torniin ja minä jäin viihdyttämään […]
Shopping and snow in Tuscany!
Today the plan was to do some serious shopping in the brand outlets. And we actually managed to do that pretty well.. 🙂 First we drove highway pass Florence and after a few km’s on a country road, in the middle of nowhere, there is was : The Mall It was a sight by itself, […]
Cinque Terre and Manarola
We had some sports today! Drove to Cinque Terre and Manarola. When we left Lucca, we just checked that it is only less than 100 km, and thought that we take the small country roads instead of speedway. Again nice idea, but useless 😉 In Italy small roads are many time so slow to travel, […]
A real surprise!
We had an amazing Christmas dinner at Ristorante all’Olivo in Lucca Italy . We were totally full of all the delicious courses they brought us from the kitchen, and waiting for the bill, when suddenly a co-customer appeared next to Giusto. He wanted to give their “doggie bag” to Giusto ! Wow! never ever experienced […]
Santa Claus found us!
He is one of a kind! Normally we are at Xmas time near his place, in Finnish Lapland, but even now when we’re in Italy he had found us. Unfortunately we were having dinner at the time he had visited our room, but he had left the presents 🙂 Ihme ukko tuo Pukki, löysi tiensä […]
Today it was Florence
Today we went to see Florence. It is just some 60 km’s away from Lucca, and the speedway takes there very easily. Traffic was quiet, we thought until we reached to city! Yupe, there were somebody else, too searching for the parking lot. We were lucky and found one, and off to the citywalk. Giusto […]
It is leaning! at Pisa today
Yeah, we saw it with our own eyes! The tower really is leaning! 🙂 actually more, than we thought in forehand. It was also a tough day for Giusto, it was countless number of times he was noticed. While I climbed 296 steps up, Sari entertained tourists with G. Some even asked that if they […]
Here we are: in Italy ! :)
(editors: Jukka the English version, and Sari for the Finnish) Long time no sea! Wow, finally we are able to be here with our Giusto. We have been in Italy with Sari, say 15 to 20 times the past 15 yrs, and we have every time longed for our dogs at home. So to be […]
