Time to head to the bush and coast again. We leave Florence and drive to Pisa. The drive was a little hectic to the freeway road and then quite easy. We were happy to jag a parking spot a 5 minute walk from the Leaning Tower of Pisa which was really good. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a freestanding bell tower and looks

is pretty amazing. The tower started to lean during construction at the 3^rd level because the foundation was built on soft ground that had difficulty supporting the weight. The lean became worse as construction continued for several decades 5.5° tilt. Between 1990 and 2001 it was stabilised and the lean was partially fixed. Now it only tilts 5°. We climbed over 200 stairs to the top (cost 18 euro each, too expensive for DB as we had climbed both the Bell Tower, the Duomo and had access to the Baptistry, the cathedral and the crypt for 11 euro yesterday). Today was 18 for Tower and Cathedral + 5 for Baptistry and 5 for Museum. So quite expensive compared to the Duomo. Anyway, when in Pisa you climb the leaning tower so we did. And lean you do, even though it is only 5° you definitely tilt to the centre around one side and to the outer the other as you climb the spiral staircase around the outside of the internal walls. The view at the top of the tower towards the cathedral was really good. We also went in the cathedral which again was quite awesome. The paintings were really big and very good. Maybe even better than a lot we saw yesterday. We then had a nice lunch in a small café and then drove to Cinque Terre to our B&B in the mountains overlooking the ocean.
