Pisa

Next we were off to Pisa in Italy - we actually stayed in Terrenia which is a seaside area about 20 minutes drive from the city of Pisa. As you can see it wasn't exactly perfect weather, although it cleared up as the day went along.

I'm happy to say the tower is still standing,
Leaning Tower of Pisa
in spite of Marco trying to push it over ....

and thanks to me propping it up!

We also visited the beautiful church:

In addition we ate some fantastic food. Here is Marco with a Tartufo, a favourite dessert of his. I also had the best gelato I have ever tasted - sorry no picture as I ate it too quickly!

Bongiorno!

Hey - great pictures. Again, looks like you had heaps of fun. Hey - you could have saved us some of that gelati - maybe smeared some on a napkin to take home!!
