Today was mostly a travel day. We left Florence after lunch and took a short train ride to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The little town of Pisa really doesn’t have a whole lot to offer but it the short walk from the train station to the tower gave us a sense of the town and the nice river that flowed through it.
When we got to the tower, there were tons of people lined around the grassy square taking photos, so of course we did our classic “Leaning Tower of Pisa” photo. Then we climbed the 300 steps up to the top of the tower.
After hanging out for a bit, we had to go catch our train to Rome. The train ride was actually really beautiful – it ran along the west coast of Italy so we got beautiful views of the Tuscany countryside and the coast. Four hours of beautiful water, rolling hills, and sunset later, we arrive tired and ready to rest up for a few exciting days in Roma!
