The great idea of a Leaning Tower in Pisa

Leaning Tower, Walled City & the Best Dinner Ever

I had to come through here to get to Rome, so I decided to venture off and checkout the leaning tower. Yep, its still leaning. Yes, people are still taking pictures pretending they are pushing it over, or holding it up. I went here with two Canadians who ...
A Quicky, Sicky Day Trip To Pisa

Italy's cutest gem
... out, we were given a smoking room anyway, so we didn't break any rules, but, apparently, the rules are made to be broken in Italy, or at best they are a "suggestion only"...love it! We had an hour or so to relax before we were whipped up into the ...
the leaning tower of shit
... sentence I actually wrote 'full of communist stupids' and didn’t notice until I spell checked. Anyway, Pisa seems to be the Dunedin equivalent of Italy. It is a student dominated town with a few locals who stubbornly insist that they would be ...

Pisa
Managed to get to Pisa early before the hoardes arrived. We went up the Leaning Tower, you get 30 minutes for 15 euros each. Later on we realised that once the crowds turn up you only get 20 minutes up there for the same price! And some people may take ...

Pisa and Wine Tasting
Last weekend we spent a very drizzly day exploring Pisa, which is the farthest we've been out of Firenze on our own so far. We had a little bit of confusion at the SMN train station finding and catching our train, but all went well and in about an hour we ...
The Leaning Tower
... tower. The leaning tower of Pisa is conveniently located on the other side of town from the train station. I wondered if this was Pisa's way of trying to increase tourism by forcing people to walk through the town on their way to get to what they ...
