Back to the Granny and Jethro part... We read in our guidebook that Montorosso has plenty of rooms to rent--but not the part about getting there before noon to reserve one. There were no rooms to be had. We spent a few hours touring the town before catching the train back to La Spezia.
Centro Storico (Old Town) is old world charming with small crooked lanes, hole-in-the wall shops, and quaint restaurants. The views are fantastic. We saw saw a Nazi "pillbox," a small concrete bunker where gunners hid during WWII. We had what Joey declares "the best" dinner he's ever had. We found a hotel and made reservations for a return trip.
We missed the train back to Pisa. By the time we got to Pisa, the next bus (no train) back to Florence was going to leave at 1:30 in the morning. We decided to spend the night in Pisa. The hotel was great - air-conditioned with no mosquitoes.
Sunday, we slept late and then went exploring. We saw Parma and then took the train back to Florence.
