Decamped from Veneto to Tuscany, to Barga to be exact. Three hours on the toll roads will age you 3 months... at the least! Anyway the last 100ks was on b roads and not nearly as fearful.
Barga is a walled hilltop town in northern Tuscany, it's narrow winding streets all climb to the romanesque Duomo on the top of the pile. The nearest big town is Lucca about 40ks to the south. We are staying in the lower town, 5 minute walk to the city gate.
It's not unusual to hear Scottish accents here because there was a migration to Glasgow at some time in history to teach the Scots how to make icecream!
