We spent our last day in Lucca and Pisa as DC and I had to fly out of Pisa that evening. It was quite a bit farther than we thought so we didn't get to follow my itinerary exactly as planned. I tried to be flexible. First stop, was to enjoy the wall in Lucca. It is the only still-standing ancient wall in Italy and Napoleon gave it to his wife who decided to turn it into a city park. It was beautiful -- big trees, great view, nice breeze. We biked around the 2.5-mile circle twice and then wandered the cute town.
By the time we got to Pisa, it was hot, hot, hot and crowded with millions of tourists. We took our requisite leaning tower pics and then split up -- us to the airport and mom and dad back to the casa for a few more days of fun.
We flew from Pisa to London, spent the night, and then hopped a plane to Dublin and finally to Chicago! It was a fully 24 hours of travel but so, so worth it when we actually set foot back in our little house. Ciao Italia!
