Pisa

Killing time in Pisa before our late night flight. The unreality of seeing the famous tower in all its leaning glory after years of only having seen pictures. A couple of pleasant, lazy hours spent strolling round the beautiful botanic gardens, rare trees, basking lizards, glasshouses and terracotta pots, rainbows in fountains. Our last ice-creams, our last pizzas too. Heading slowly to the train station as the sun set over the river, heavy-hearted with the thought of leaving Italy.

  2. Beautiful! and far nicer than i remembered too, perhaps we were unlucky. We were definitely poor, buying bread and fruit from a supermarket!

    Beautiful pictures, and lovely descriptions too. I am there.
