As soon as we landed in Pisa we rented a car and drove up to Milan. A long 4-hour drive w/ hour pimpin rental.
Arriving in Milan, we walked straight up to the famous Duomo. This church is centered in the heart of Milan in the Piazza Duomo and is actually the world's biggest Gothic cathedral.
Duomo is a generic Italian term for "cathedral church", it seems like just about every city or town in Italy has it's own duomo.
Pisa is a beautiful city with a big shopping street and the Arno flowing through it. There was a market that we went to full of artists showing their goods. It had a lot of crafty things like signs, jewelry, leather, and artwork just to name a few. Walking farther into the city we finally reached the leaning tower of Pisa and I have to tell you, it sure is leaning!
Climbing to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa is a unique experience and it offers an amazing view of the town. Tickets were 15 euro's. The view was definitely worth the money.
We took the cliché photos as if we were holding the tower up.
We also walked around the lawn to the Duomo which is very pretty. I loved this Duomo with its many paintings lining the walls and the sculptures. It was beautiful.
More photo's below.
Ofcourse we couldn't leave Italy without trying the original pasta. Delicious.
Cheers ya'll!
