Day 7: PISA

Saturday morning we had a 'Rome' around Florence ;) It was very hot! Then we jumped on a local train to Pisa...the reason? well this....
...and yes we did have to climb to the top...

 

 ...but the views were great!


 It was an awful lot of steps...
 The leaning tower of Pisa was a bell tower for the adjacent cathedral, the foundations couldn't cope with the height of the tower, thus it began to sink. It was left as is and reinforced, which is lucky because Pisa now gets bucket loads of money from tourists!


 ...tourists mainly doing this...(Trying to get the perfect 'i'm holding up the tower' photo)



Well why not?...'when in Rome...' (or Pisa)
