The porcini were great. And in the morning, I’m cleaning and on my way. Arreviderci casa Giovanna. It’s hot and now humid, too. Driving across Italy, I’m hoping for cooler weather at the coast but I am to be disappointed.
The little beach town of Marina di Cecina is absolutely bustling. I can’t believe it. Good thing I’ve already booked my room. The beaches are packed – everyone sits under an umbrella carefully spaced – and so are the streets. At dinner, I’m turned away from the two restaurants recommended by Michelin so i decide to have pizza in the hotel restaurant, and even there I have to wait for a table. But it’s great people watching and a nice way to spend a last night in Italy.
Tomorrow – NIce. It’s further than I thought so I’ll get an early start.
