Some tourists

sunny

We only had the one full day in Pisa, so we naturally spent it looking at the sights of the city. We headed straight to the Piazza Miracali where the famous leaning tower is located, although much like everything else in Italy, it is not the only thing in the piazza and there are generally more impressive (and less well known) buildings, statues, etc. In common with the leaning tower, the 2 other buildings in the piazza are also leaning although not by as much. I guess this was the architect's only commissioned work, for fear that he would end up levelling the whole Italy. One thing we noticed was that a lot of tourists in an effort to be humourous or original, take pictures of themselves either holding the tower up or pushing the tower down. We didn't however.

The rest of Pisa is pretty much like any other Italian city, with a river running through it. We also realised that a day in Pisa was long enough, especially after visiting so many Italian cities.
