Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S.
I did not want to hijack Ronald's thread on Sardinia and the G8, but following a post on the same topic by Adriatica and my own commennt, I thought that it may be interesting for many to see what we are talking about.
I am afraid that you will not find health insurance for about 300 euros yearly. The figure of 800-900 sounds more realistic. I do hope that someone may come up with a lower rate. Please let us know.
Good tip, Cinghiale. Thank you. I don;t think that we have been there, but we will try it next time. Sounds very interesting and usually these are the best places to eat. And I do love home-made "gnochi" Yummy!!!!
No, Cinghiale, I still have a lot to learn; however, we go quite frequently to Lerici whenever we are in Bagni. My husband loves the place. For this reason, I know a bit about that area and I am happy to share the information.
I think that it may be much easier to go from Florence to Lucca by train on a day trip. There are a couple of trains at least every hour from Santa Maria Novella and the train station at Lucca is centrally located near the San Pietro gate which is one of the main entrances into the old town. The train trip takes only about an hour.On the other hand, if you are driving, I would do Verona and Bologna on the planned two day trip. Bologna is a wonderful city, worth a visit as well and it would be on your way back to Florence.
I understand that olive trees should not be fed. On the other hand they do need to be watered regularly. But please keep us informed about the progress that your plants are making.

Serge, thanks for the information. Very interesting.
Hello Allanhu and welcome. Best wishes regarding your plans.
You are right, it could be better if we had "My Unread posts" just below "My Unread Group Posts", on the right hand side.
