    In Pisa

    October 3, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    As we always do, we got early and beat the crowds. We took the 7:50 train to Pisa and arrived at Pisa Centralle at 9am, well maybe not that early but enough to get there before all the tour buses. Ximena woke up perfectly fine...good news

    Getting from the station to the Tower was failry simple, we just ride the LAM ROSSE bus for 10 minutes.

    The place is spectacular and we got astonished looking at the Tower. In reality the complex also includes the Baptistery and the Duomo, all beautiful buildings. At around 10:30 am the buses were pouring people from every corner so we went for breakfast and then walked back to the station (around 2km)

    To our surprise the trains back to Florence were cancelled due to a suicidal person that got killed on the way, fortunately by 3pm everything was restored and were back ar Florence at 4:20pm.

    Our last stop was the Piazzale Michelangiolo with stunning vistas over Florence. Of course we didn't want to miss it but being so tired we grabbed a taxi that took us there for 20 Euros (from Pisa Santa Maria Novella). The views and atmosphere were worth the money.
