2011/09/13 Visiting Italy Day 12: Pisa
π 2011-09-13 01:01 in Italy2011, Ntrips, Trips
The next morning from 2.4 days in Florence, we had reservations for climbing the leaning tower, so we took an early train to get there.
We walked across town from the train station, and the town is indeed an uneventful little town that happens to mostly get traffic of people going to the field of dreams and the leaning tower.



And we got there:


this is the most leaning angle, not bad :)

The baptistery is gorgeous and had the great property of echoing sound for up to 10 seconds, allowing for multi harmonies from a single voice, very cool.



We also went to see the cemetary, with very old ruins and wall painting left from roman times:




The church itself is also extremely nice:







And before leaving, a few obligatory pictures:


Pisa isn't worth a lot more than half a day, but I'm happy we didn't skip it.
