We caught a bus from Lucca, and 30 minutes later we were outside our hotel in Pisa. According to the hotel brochure it was located 40 seconds walk from the main sights.
They weren't wrong, and the place was packed with tourists taking photos of themselves either holding up the tower or putting their finger on the top of it.
We were a bit too cool for that, and anyway did it last time we were here, so just enjoyed watching others do it.
We had been told by lots of people that the tower is the only thing to see in Pisa but that really isn't true.
We paid to go into a brilliant vaulted building and then up on to the town walls.
They were very impressive, 11 meters tall and 3 kilometres long and surrounding most of the town.
We walked to the end of them by the river Arno and then back through the pretty town.
We stopped for cappuccinos at a tiny café with a very friendly waitress, who when we went inside to pay, gave us and a couple of other customers shots of chocolate liquor and we all downed them in one.
