Livorno

Decided to take a trip to Livorno today one because of the beautiful scenery and two because the car has aircon and the temperature is 40 degrees. Set off around 10am and took it nice and slowly and saw some beautiful scenery, lots of vineyards, lots of sunflower fields all planted in perfectly straight lines.

Arrived at Livorno around 1pm and discovered it was an industrial port and also cruise ships waiting to spill their passengers into the town. There is an area called little venice filled with lots of canals and boats.

The minute we stepped out I wish we hadn’t as it was scorchio. We headed for the nearest restaurant and had a fantastic pizza each and half a bottle of wine and some refreshing water. We were amazed by the amount of food the Italians put away, the couple next to us had ravioli which looked like a main course followed by some sort of savoury crepe followed by something with spinach followed by a huge piece of water melon along with water and wine, they had eaten all this before we had even eaten half of our pizza. Then the tallest man in the world walked in followed by the second tallest man in the world. They sat down then the actual second tallest man in the world walked in and sat down down with the other tallest men. After our lunch we drove back home and took pictures of the incredible scenery along the way.

We arrived back at camp to a welcome pink gin and tonic of Rob and Sue, which went down a treat. This evening we Invited our Dutch neighbours over for some drinks as they are leaving tomorrow we exchanged stories which was nice. Love you and leave you for today gonna get some arm rest xx
