Next, we spent a day in Pisa. Getting to Pisa was much less hassle than getting to Cagliari! Almost directly after we arrived, we headed to the one thing Pisa is really known for. The leaning tower!
For some reason, before I went to Pisa I had it in my head that the leaning tower was all by itself in the middle of a field somewhere. Well, that was proved very wrong. The tower is surrounded by several other very impressive (and huge!) buildings and cathedrals.
We got to climb the tower, which was definitely the highlight of my time in Pisa. It was a weird feeling going up the stairs because I could actually tell that the tower was leaning! The city looked gorgeous from way up there, and we were lucky to have perfect weather which made it even better.
Wow!! You actually climbed up the tower?!? That would be an odd sensation of leaning over while going up! :)
