Leaning for Pisa

Just minutes late to go up to the top of the tower coincidentally on re-opening day.

From the Cinque Terre via La Spezia we arrived for a few hours in Pisa to see the tower, Duomo, and necessary landmarks. We originally didn’t plan to visit Pisa, but decided to after being mislead with train schedules from a lady. Very funny.

The good news was that we came to Pisa the reopening day of the tower since the early 1990’s. The bad new was that we figured this out a bit late and didn’t have ourselves together in time to be the last tour up to the top of the tower. But you can say we were the first to see the last of the first people go up?….. Ok, I know we suck.

Many people told me that going to Pisa was a waste of time because there is really nothing else to do. I will be the second person to say the same thing. Going to Pisa to see the tower only makes sense if its on the way to your next destination, otherwise I would not plan my life around it if I were you. We were en route to Florence so it was kinda on the way… kinda. We stopped in Bologna and next time I go to Italy Bologna I get off that train.
