The night before we left Camogli we had the most delicious seafood dinner at a tiny restaurant with only 4 tables. It’s called O’Magazin di Camogli and the entrance is here.
The chefs specialty is perfectly prepared tidbits of tuna and other local fish. This taco was colorful and delicious.
We took one more walk along the shore in Camogli before departing. It’s a great destination.
And our hotel Albergo La Camoliese a comfortable place to stay.
We decided to spend our two unplanned nights in Lucca, a walled city in Tuscany. Our Hotel San Martino serves a delicious breakfast which includes this Apple Cake!
Giacomo Puccini was born in Lucca and we visited his home which now houses the Puccini Museum. There is a bronze statue of Puccini in the piazza just outside the museum
We also visited the Lucca Contemporary Art Museum with a wonderful exhibition of photography titled “Henri Cartier-Bresson. In America.” This is a photo (of a photo) that he took at Waldorf-Astoria in New York City.
There are many shopping opportunities here–especially if you’re a bride-to-be…
We like Lucca and are happy with our decision to stop here but tomorrow it’s time to move to our next Tuscan stop–Siena.
