Another 24 hours in Pisa

by neilward - last update: Jun 9, 2005

FOLLOW THE GUIDE......

Another great reflection shot.
I arrived in Pisa after an eventful trip from Stansted,a woman with 2 young children sat next to me ,both kids were as good as gold.
Maria,the mum,seemed to struggle with her baby and bags so me being slightly old fashioned and respectful to women,decided to help out.
Well,you should,shouldnt you...
Babys seem to need so many things,bottles,toys,chocolate,and they all seem to fit in one bag !!!!!
The landing went well and as I was so helpful Maria said her family,who were meeting her would give me a lift to the station.......
As we walked from baggage collection through to arrivals her "Welcoming Comittee" of sisters,mum dad were waiting for their family,Who knows what they first though of a strange unknown man walking through the airpoto with their daughter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to the station where I was to wait for Azhut and Dr Firas,outside theres a large beautiful fountain,as it was a gorgeous day I waited there.....
Out of the corner I could see this attractive women giving me the "once over",and caught her eye a couple of times............
Anyway it turned out she was Pollon who was meeting the other 2 as well,so it wasnt my animal magnetism after all !!!!!
Effective,dont you think??

The town below in Sepia

Whilst up the Tower the day before we noticed aircraft flying that way over the town,and thought if we sat on the left side of the aircraft we could see the sights below...And we did.
So thers a tip for you.

The Tower !!!

You cant go to Pisa without seeing this and surrounding beautiful buildings in the La Piazza del Duomo,Pollon and I were going to go up the tower Sunday evening,but after pounding the streets led my Azhut !!!!,our energy levels were reduced to ZERO,so I decided to get up early and go up myself.
I bought my ticket and off I go,full of expectancy,only 300 steps,half way up both my thighs were on fire,had a rest and started again.
Go it to the top,and wow what a fantastic experience,I was very impressed,but the best bit for me was the fact that I was the only one on the whole tower,just little old me,on top of the world,well Pisa at least !!!!!!

(More in my travelogue...)
How does it do that ???

Pros:"Been back,loved it..need a rest from all those steps!!!"
Cons:"None,apart from dogs mess on pavements."
In A Nutshell:"WOULDNT HAVE SEEN HALF AS MUCH WITHOUT AZHUT"
