Leaning Tower of Pisa (La Torre di Pisa)

My husband and I just got married and took our honeymoon trip to florence after we won $50,000 playing the lottery. Our trip was amazing! We got to visit an amazing country and learn about their amazing history. We got to experince life in another country and see their amazing architecture that's so much different from ours here in America. In …

On the third day of the Cruise we arrived at our first stop, Livorno in Italy, close to Pisa.

Deciding that we'd avoid the guided tours and instead use local transportation to visit Pisa for a few hours, we took a buss to Livorno train station and purchased a return ticket to Pisa. The whole trip was quite short and only getting out …

So today we left Rome and headed north to Tuscany. We left the hotel at 7.30am with Pisa being our first destination. Along the way we stopped at a nice little restaurant for morning tea and then lunch was at an Autogrill and we had our first taste of Chianti.

When we arrived in Pisa, the bus parked quite a distance from the Tower and we …

We decided, rather than do the tour bus thing and spend an hour or two in Pisa, to spend the night there. And I am so glad that we did. Our hotel was gorgeous and easily the nicest we stayed in whilst in Italy and whilst there isn't a huge amount to do during the day because it is a small Uni town it is very vibrant at night and is you move away …

We landed in Pisa and spent the night in town. We finally climbed the leaning tower (recommended) and visited other sights in town.

The next day we headed back out to the airport to meet the earthwatch team. We drove an hour and half south to a small village near Populonia Stazione. We stayed in apartments in the village and ate our meals …

We woke up early to catch a morning train to Pisa the next day. We left a little before 9am arriving in Pisa around 10am. The train station in Pisa didn't have any tourists maps, but they told us we could go to the hotel across the street and they would give us one, which they did. We then journeyed our way to the …

Last night 5 of us girls decided we wanted to visit Cinque Terra on Friday... Little did we know we were going to be able to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa as well.

The 5 of us met at 7:00 a.m. Friday morning, we headed to the train station and bought tickets to Cinque Terra. With an hour until our train left we headed to get breakfast and …

Left Venice and follow the highway past the university city of Bologna, into the wild Apennines and on to the peaceful landscapes of Tuscany. On arrival in Florence, join a local guide for a sightseeing tour which includes entrance into the Academy Gallery to see Michelangelo’s original ‘Statue of David’ and the half-completed &# …

Today we left Nice and made our way to Florence. on the way we stopped at Pisa to get pictures with the leaning tower. We arrived in a pretty average looking town with nothing really of significance and then started walking. And in the middle of this average town there was a wall and inside of it was the Cathedral of Pisa and the Leaning Tower. Our …

Today is when I really noticed how broke Italy is. After breakfast in our B&B which consisted of coffee, toast, rolls and runny eggs (I gave my egg to Mark. I hate runny eggs and couln't choke this one down), we got dinged with a 50 euro ticket on a train because we failed to fill in the date on our Eurail pass before the ticket guy got there …
