On the road

Have been travelling around Italy for the last week - saw a great open air night time showing of 'The General' starring Buster Keaton in Bologna,

Wondered at the statues under balconies in Mantova

Sampled excellent Venetian doughnuts for breakfast,

Were tempted by this unusual barber shop frontage in Bologna -a massive Tarzan poster,

And found the best coffee shop in Italy - using the ultimate Faema E61

machine and served by Amanda Holden's twin sister ...

Now settled in a Villa in Lucca for the next two weeks - aqueduct in the garden.

And views of the City from one of Lucca's towers.
