(L) No blog yesterday as we had a complete and utter nothing day. I was up, showered and dressed fairly early and the whole fever, cold thing seemed gone but had a killer headache and Deb was still feeling pretty bad so we decided we should just stay home, sleep, rest and get better so that we can enjoy the rest of our trip. We made a quick trip out to the supermarket for some potatoes because I had a craving for my "go to comfort food" of fried potato squares to...

(D) So here we are with our first full day in Bagni di Lucca but neither of us are truly appreciating it - we're fighting it as hard as possible but neither of us feel 100%, just kind of head and body aches and a great sense of lethargy. We both struggled to get motivated this morning and though we did go out for a drive up and around some mountain roads and it was all stunning, mist filled beauty we both acknowledged we were lacking genuine enthusiasm due to...

(L) We had booked a tour with Cristina De Angelis for a day trip to Civita di Bagnoregio so had a pretty lazy start to the day, only leaving at around 10.15 to head off to her shop in the Piazza, just to the side of the Duomo. You can't really miss her shop, she has big blue signs out the front with different tours listed and there are numerous cats all sitting on and around the stairs.We had gone to the Information office, also in the square but opposite the...
