Lucca is a very old walled city, and at the top of the wall there's a well used wide path for walkers, runners, pedal carts and cyclists. Once the weather settled down - it was a mixed bag today of rain, wind, cloud and some sun - we rented city bikes and took them up the path to the top of the wall, and set off.

One of many bronze sculptures |
There were a number of sculptures by
Andrea Roggi - the exhibit was called The Tree of Life.

Along the top of the wall, or ramparts - there are lots of signs warning you not to get close to the edge, it drops straight down |
