Euro Adventures Pt 14 - Towers, Tuscany and Tonnes of Wine

Day 13 - what a long day!! It was, surprise surprise, another driving day. Departing my beautiful Venezia and heading into the magical hills of Tuscany. The home of some the best wines in the world. Our driving day started off like any other - drive drive drive, bored bored bored, toilet stop, drive drive drive, bored bored bored, but then we stopped at Pisa.  Pisa is only a small town in the rand scheme of things and we were able to walk in and see the amazing, architecturally confusing, leaning tower of Pisa. It was a long walk from the coach parking to the Town Square, which housed the Leaning Tower, a beautiful cathedral and a marble cemetery building (which was a little creepy). I'm slowly starting to realise that everything we do seems to be quite a long and painful walk from the coach parking. Those Topdeck bastards!  It was so goddam hot and Alysha and I were both feeling pretty homesick so we took our typical tourist shots of the tower and headed back to the bus. Alon...
