Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
... painted buildings and lampposts along the river. So we walked down to the Square of Miracles (loose translation) to see the Leaning Tower. We had so much fun just walking around, going into the cathedral and crying, and taking tons of stupid tourist pictures that were awesome. Now, the Tower and everything else was great, but the real highlight was an unplanned, 1-second event. Here's a little background: We were walking on the street and my mom ...
Livorno, Italy
We woke up this morning and found ourselves in Livorno, Italy, the port city for Florence. It was amazing how smoothly the ship sailed overnight. I never even realized we were moving, nor did I feel any vibration as the ship docked. Pretty impressive!

Day Five - Pisa and Lucca
Up and out for a full day touring round Pisa and Lucca. The journey to Pisa was very short, and although we were caught with light rain showers we managed to get to town without getting soaked. Mauro dropped us off as close to the centre of Pisa as possible, and from the car park we caught a little electric train to the main tourist area. Through the usual tourist tat stalls we walked, and then around a corner I got my first ...
