Our first stop in Italy was in Florence. This stop offered so many excursions it was difficult to choose. We decided to leverage our time here and do the most we could. This involved one 1/2 day tour in the morning and another 1/2 day tour in the afternoon. This would mean we wouldn't see it all. Someone wise once told me that you should always leave something to see upon your return!
In this case we saw Pisa in the morning. A 45 minute bus ride from the port to this tiny town of Pisa with the famous tower. Like anything else that you've seen in pictures, when you finally come upon the real thing it's almost overwhelming. And never as big as it looks in pictures!
Apparently it's all the rage to take photos pretending that you're holding up the tower .. hence the pictures below!
And after the fun and games of seeing the tower and that gathering of buildings we walked into the little village to have a slice of pizza at the 'most famous pizza' place in Pisa. Truth be told there were very few people inside, but it was cool and the pizza was delicious! Bill had his photo taken with the owner who was gracious and funny.
What a great treat to have a Coke and a slice on our first day in Italy!
Grazi!
Prego!
