We were very sad to have to say goodbye to our dear friends who had looked after us so well in Tivoli – Jacqui and Sergio, their daughter, Tamara and her husband, Roberto and their son, Valerio – and the dog Flora.
We headed west to the coast, stopping at the Laika factory near Florence, where we got a warm welcome from their Sales Manager and were shown the production line. We spent the night near Luca and then headed along the coast, past Genoa and down to San Remo in Liguria.
