Another deluge, this time in lovely Lucca, so much that we were all wet through so after a very good lunch, we went for an earlier train back to Montecatini Terme. The sun shone on us there so we explored some more.
I love how the patterns look like a suit jacket.

Rain
A few moments after I took this photo, the large ‘balloon’ broke away from its moorings and barreled away down the street.
Lovely side street

So annoying to have the rain. But nice to go somewhere new.

It was lovely, despite the rain and the rest of the holiday was sunny, happily. 🙂

What a shame with all this rain, yet you still see things and get impressions. Glad you had a bit of non rainy time. It is still an adventure 😀🎒❤️👍

It has been a splendid adventure and those were the only two days with rain, happily! 🙂

I, too, saw a man in suit in that first picture. How funny.
Not so funny is the thought of one of those huge “balloons” rolling away on its own! Sounds terrifying!

It was. It rumbled and bounced down the street, not sure where it ended up. I hope no-one was hurt. 🙂

Beautiful pictures. I love pictures in the rain with umbrellas.

So do I! There is so much colour and the rain makes reflections and shiny bits that are very pleasing. 🙂

Something’s up with your blog. It starts to load the pictures, flashes several times, and then gives me a message saying “a problem repeatedly occurred “ (on my iPhone). It did the same thing the last time I tried to see your post, a few days ago.
