Pisa

I was sooooo stiff and sore after my mega effort to do the Cinque Terre in a day, so I had a lie in and left the lovely place I was staying just before check-out time of 10am. When I headed off for the Cinque Terre, it was early morning, 7.30 and the station was empty. Not so at 10am....

Hot steamy noisy station at 10am.

I had already worked out the ticket I needed so I got a train to Pisa, and off I went. I tried my hardest not to be a generic tourist, focusing only on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but really, it is the most amazing thing to behold! Now that its stabilised, they let people go up and so I went up and got panoramic views of the city. Pretty cool.

It's a bit hard to hold up the tower while taking a selfie

So yes, impressive how it leans. But there was a few more photo worthy sights in Pisa...
