Mediterranean cruise: Livorno/Lucca

This was the first stop after leaving Civitavecchia, west of Rome. The trips available during the day there were Pisa (been there), Florene (ditto). Lucca, north and in the hills. Included was a visit to a winery.

The surrounding countryside

And the winery, where you could choose your vintage:

As you can see, the weather was beautiful. That would hold for much of the trip, despite the forecasts of rain.
