October 23rd, Train: Lucca to Castlenuova di Garfagnana

Last night was a sleepless one, as Mauny and I discovered that the couple next door have are in a lovenest that is over the top.

We decided to take the very small train up into the Apuane mountains to the park hub at Castlenuova. They have a craft and food market there every Thursday. We arrived when it was shutting down and the park office would not open until the later afternoon. So we had coffee and walked around the multi-tiered quaint town. We decided to take the 3 p.m. train back and to just call the office for park info. Mauny had already obtained a good map for hiking and biking.

Back home, Mauny went to the supermarket while Elaine went to the internet. They found each other unexpectently in the small village behind their affitacamere. We had coffee, cooked and read.
