Pisa Part 3

The walls were really fun to walk on, though after we left the big tower complex the amount of people dwindled until we were the only ones up there. It went by an old textile factory that is now a university (second photo) and the stairs to get up on the walls used to be a water tower to keep the pressures high in the factory pipes. That area was nice as it was a lot of outdoor space with lots of people hanging out.

Next was this little pond looking place that used to be where gondolas transport things and people. We read that on the sign and it didn’t look like the archways in the water were big enough!

When we finally got to the end of the wall walk we were both so hot, but wanted a sit so we sat in the shade by the wall…and it was still so hot there! So much heat radiating from the city wall!! So we set off to find some gelato and cool off…only we looked at a ton of places and no one had any good flavors! Until we finally found one - Vegan pistachio and pear, both were so good!

Then it was a quick walk back through the city, a short stop to push over the tower amidst a bunch of tour groups, and then back to the car to head home. I really enjoyed Pisa and if we had more time I would have went in the cathedral and baptistery to see what they were like inside. Maybe tomorrow if we make it back for more Thai food! I’m still so surprised how much I enjoyed Pisa!

After dinner we again went down to the beach to watch the sunset and the mountains were not covered in clouds tonight! So it was nice having a sits by the water.Read more
