I lost a day somehow, reserving a place to stay in the Cinque Terre and then another in Venice a few days later. However in between I managed to forget that August 31st existed. So after some planning in earlier cities I decided to head to Lucca, a walled city in Tuscany which was for the most part on my way to Venice.
It was easy enough to get to, but finding my hostel for the night was a bit of an adventure since there are only a few entrances into a walled city! I also came to find out that the tourist information office was closed, so I literally wandered around without direction, map, or a plan for a while until I found things that were interesting looking (and then finally found an open info office).
Since Puccini was from Lucca I decided it was a great place to listen to some opera, which the city offers every night of the year. It was a bit expensive, but the singers and pianist were very talented, and I enjoyed being sophisticated while listening to arias by Puccini and Mozart. I had a very early train to Venice the next morning, my lost day in Lucca had an early night.
