Another late morning was followed with a breakfast of fruit, bread, parma ham and honey al fresco. Very pleasant. We then decided to go back into Viareggio to visit the Tourist Information Bureau whilst it was open. We drove aimlessly around Viareggio and Lido di Camore (the next town up the coast from Viareggio), gradually getting our bearings. Tom was hungry (no surprises there), so we stopped at a café on the promenade where Tom had a pizza, Charlotte had a slice of panforte and we both had cappuccino’s. Eating was followed by people watching and a lot of talking (mainly about how much fun the wedding had been) and suddenly a few hours had passed.

We chatted to a very nice lady in the Tourist Office where we picked up lots of maps and brochures and then we felt it was time for some more ice cream: Charlotte had peach and pistachio, Tom had cherry and chocolate chip. We found our way to Viareggio's supermarket, the restaurants recommended by the Tourist Office lady and the train station. We then went home for some supper of pasta with asparagus and an early night – well, we were on our honeymoon.
