As we left Pisa it was pouring down…..  hey it was Italian rain …who cares….  As we drove into Pisa we picked up a sign indicating Motorhome parking….. we followed these excellent tourist information signs…..  until they stopped in with no parking to be seen. But we have sussed the Italians out now and managed to find a road side parking slot near the river. A 15 minute walk took us to tower that is a little skew wiff.    

The Campo Dei Miracoli (the main area by this skew wiff tower) was full of tourists all going for ‘that’ shot of someone holding  the tower up. We managed a couple of those photos before we returned to the van. We did look at going up the tower but it seemed the tickets gave you a time slot, ours would have been 2 hours after buying the ticket.

 

Having ‘done’ Pisa we made towards Florence and another Sosta. This one was about 20 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio, but more of that later.  That evening we walked for about 20 minutes to Pizzale Michelangelo which is a stunning view point looking out over the city.  While we were there we witnessed a flash mob Choir and a proposal of marriage in the middle of the performance. All as the sunsetting amidst a thunder storm with  lightning off to the west.
