Pisa and Florence

Arrived in La Spezia and then drove through to Pisa. We passed the mountains of Carrara where they have the marble quarries - it looks like snow but it’s actually marble. Incredible. 90% of Italian marble comes from Carrara.
The leaning tower of Pisa is magnificent- a definite highlight of my trip so far! Luckily we got there before all the bus loads of tourists got there - it was still very busy
We then drove to Florence. What a stunning city! We had 3 hours to explore but it wasn’t enough! Leather everywhere and great shops.
We had a drink before we left at the plush Savoy Hotel ( we couldn’t find a wine window!)
A big day and last night on the ship.Meer informatie
