Our final day in Florence included a day trip to Pisa and Lucca. We took the morning train to the city of Pisa. We headed immediately to the Leaning tower. Grace and Violet said they were up for some exercise so we decided to climb to the top of the tower. We all concluded that the climb was more intense than the Duomo in Florence. We made it to the top safely and we all experienced a little vertigo once we made our way to the perch. The views were awesome, but you could definitely feel the tilt of the tower at the top.
After the visit to Pisa we took a train to Lucca. This is a old but small Italian city surrounded by a sixteenth century wall that encircles the entire city. The wall is a hundred feet wide and is built with stones and brick. Lucca has a bike path at the top of the wall. We rented some bikes and took a spin around the top of the wall. It was really pretty. The path is lined with trees so you get to ride in the shade and view the city at the same time. We made two laps around the city for a total of 5 miles.
Wehraded back to the farm house for our final evening in Tuscany. We will be taking the train to Milan tomorrow morning for the last two days of our trip. We will miss this area but are excited to get to our next destination.
We will post the photos from Pisa and Lucca once we get to Milan. We hope the Wednesday morning will bring us news of an Orlando Magic victory in game 3.
Ciao!
Violet and Grace
