We liked Lucca very much even though it rained all day plenty of cute shops and restaurants and sights - we took ship bus in and had tons of free time - - I agree the length of Florence trip overwhelms me - talked to a gal who had done it in 2003, much younger than my age, and due to running into traffic or some such tale it was over a ten hr day no thanks!!!- I thought Amalfi coast drive was spectacular - not doing it this time as we did it in 2003 - going back to Capri we loved it - and just hanging in Sorrento or maybe will grab a cab - playing it by ear - I can't handle all day tours I am too pooped at night
