Friday 11th – Livorno and Marina di Pisa

We are staying in the little village of Vicopisano which is really pretty.  There are these beautiful pink roses everywhere and they smell divine.  They were even on Wh “shortcut” home from the butcher, see below, and yes we started at the bottom.  I can only say I wasn’t carrying the water, beer and wine in the back pack.

There are lots of these little paths around and up and over the village.  I think we have now just about done them all.

Today we went to Livorno which is by the sea.  Aside from the fascinations of the ro-paxes in port and the ensuing conversations of the merits and downfalls of each one and of course it’s surrounding infrastructure it was sort of like, “Nothing to see here folks, move right along”.  So we did.

Oh first we did a boat ride through the Venezia quarter which was tranquil but sort of confirmed the nothing to see here folks.

Livorno

We headed north along the coast and stopped at Marina Di Pisa for lunch.  It was wonderful to see the sea.  I didn’t realise how much I missed it.  The wide openness of it, it’s space and colour and air.   Of course this beach wasn’t anything like ours but it was lovely to see.   I can’t believe how people can lie on the stones and sunbathe. Evidently this beach is so packed in summer you can’t find a spot to put your towel.

We found our way home and after the appropriate amount of rest and cup of tea time wandered back down to our local butcher.  He has just done up his shop and it is the newest in town.   It is a father and son business and they pride themselves on knowing where all there products come from.  Tonight it was ravioli, tempura veges, and Wh got some blood sausage for his breakfast.  He is on his own with that.
