There's no-one on the beach today.

 Our second visit to Comogli, Italy, was in stark contrast to our last visit when the beach was crawling with tourists.

A Morning's Doordling

As I didn't need to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa for a fifth time I stayed back at our hotel in lovely Lucca while the tour group went to Pisa. 

I did my own walking tour of our neighbourhood in the Old City. When I set out it was peaceful but it got rather busy as the daytrippers aarrived. I'll go out again when the crowds die down.

While I took lots of photos I'll make this a Doordling post. 

Up and down in Siena

Yesterday in Siena we went up and down many steep gradients. Thankfully I was able to hop in a taxi for the return trip to our minibus.

Approaching Siena on foot

Villa Adriana

Yesterday we travelled out of Rome to the Tivoli area. The first site we visited was Villa Adriana (Hadrian's Villa) a World Heritage site from the 1st century AD.

We had no intention of visiting this place that we hadn't heard anything about but I was desperate to visit the nearby Villa D'Este. When trying to book a tour for the latter from Rome we found that they were bundled with a visit to Hadrian's Villa so we signed up. Am I pleased that we did!
