Pisa - A revisit three decades later
17. August 2009 10:27 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments
When I was a child I spend a lot of summers with my parents in Italy. They used to work in the Northern part of Italy as travel guides and as a result we generally headed that way during the summer time with our caravan or with a tent.
When I was a baby my parent took me to Pisa (I have to trust them I an don't remember) and also up into the leaning tower.
Kim and I was planning to drive from Tuscany to the Italien Riviera and I asked Kim if it was ok to make a short stop at Pisa for me to have a look at the tower some 3X years later.
Our Tom-Tom navigated us by the backway into the city and within a short timefra we were at the tower. We had a look for a parking spot and literally found a spot less than 100 metres from the tower (so far pretty fortunate with the parking).
It was really cool to have a look at the tower. They have started allowing people to enter the tower again, but when we got there they next timeslot was 6pm in the evening (8 hours later) so we instead took some photos and bought some T shirts for Kims family.
Of cause we had to take the classic photos of trying to straighten the tower.
And a couple of nice ones
And then there was the silly ones
And then some photos from the beautiful architecture of the tower and the church next to it.
