The following morning I got up at 8am, packed my gear, stowed it in the left luggage, and joined a walking tour of Pisa. It was really good, but there was a bit of information overload. I learned all about Pisa's history, different buildings, the story of the tower... Pisa actually used to be a huge city, and a major European power, but mainly due to one man (a traitor!) it has reduced in size to the city it is today.
There is a lot more to the city than just the tower, it is actually a cool little place. And although you only ever see photos of the tower, there is actually some other amazing buildings in the city, two of them sit right beside the tower!
The tour ended at around midday and I spent the afternoon doing random things - shopping, filling out stupid insurance forms... Then I decided to go back to the tower and spend some time taking photos. Check it!
I didn't manage to secure a couch in Florence, so I thought why not stay and party with my new friends? And that is exactly what I did! I woke up on the couch in the common room of the hostel this morning. I think that means it was a pretty good night...
Very cool! I'm happy to hear you've moved on to more normal accomodations. ;)
