Pisa - Day Trip

Erin tried but couldn't straighten the Tower!

View from Tower

Decided to take a day trip to Pisa. Took a train from Florence's Santa Maria Novella Station to Pisa Centrale station. It was a one hour trip and we got to see some of the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We hopped on a city bus in Pisa to the Piazza dei Miracoli where the tower complex is located. We decided to only climb the tower (tickets to different buildings are all sold seperately) and we did so at 11:40 am, in the blazing heat!! It has been very hot here in Firenze - worse than Florida!! It was the neatest experience. You definitely feel the tilt and you feel like you are going down when you go up! The views from the top were amazing. We definitely got our excersise for the day. Had lunch in Pisa, siesta (Tom & Erin) on the train. It was a really good day trip.
