We got to Pisa on day 4, and we were SO exhausted and sore from running around in Rome the day before that we saw the leaning tower and went back to the boat to relax the rest of the day. I had no idea that Pisa was a college town. It was a nice place, but I don't feel too bad about just going to see the tower.
Thing we learned:
1. Leaning Tower of Piza = awesome!
Slushie bought at a near by restaurant in 90 degree weather = priceless
2. Never plan to spend an entire port day out and about then the day before you killed yourself in Rome and you are more sore than you have recollection of being in your entire existence.
3. Piza is a college town. No high end cars, and WAY more bicycles than scooters.
4. Plan on spending half of your money on transportation.
5. I will never be more grateful for Walmart than I am right now. How do these people survive without grocery stores?!?
6. Don't worry if you get lost - you look like a tourist and the locals will direct you to the nearest monument.
7. When the guy at the train station tells you that it is a 20 minute walk to the tower, make sure you take the bus because it is a 40 minute walk.
