Travels with GG

Barga, Toscana

It was a long hike via overgrown paths, through a sleepy town, over a brook, past ruins of an abandoned house and finally up a steep cobbled path that brought us to Barga. A small walled city, of course most everything was shut for the afternoon, and as we walked up and down the steep streets, we realised that we were crossed some piazzas more than once. No, we weren't lost, Barga was a small town. One of the loveliest places I have seen, and the ''most Scottish town in Italy''. Ice cream on the hot afternoon in the piazza by ''La Gelateria'' was well deserved. We moseyed back to the centre to find the waiting taxi and were driven back to Il Ciocco.
