Took the bus to Viareggio, a coastal resort dating back to the 16th century. The town centre's buildings are mostly art noveau. Had a nice lunch; glad I only ordered a seafood appetizer as the portions are large. My appetizer was a heaping pile of mussels, clams, and squid - YUMMY! The weather was very hot, so we sought refuge from the heat by going into shops. What else is a girl to do? Unfortunately, most shops shut down for a siesta; brilliant idea, one that we should adopt in Canada. When we arrived back in Lucca, we decided to do the same thing! We leave Lucca tomorrow for Positano. Another day of travelling - we take 3 trains to get to Sorrento. I have arranged for a driver to meet us at the station to drive us to Positano.
