PISA




I finally got the chance to go to Pisa. I’ve wanted to go since forever! When I planned the trip with 2 of my friends…we thought that it would be better to go for 2 days. It wasn’t really a good idea!

The city of Pisa is REALLY small. Our Bed & Breakfast was at less than 2 minutes by foot to the piazza dei Miracoli (where the tower of Pisa is). It is AMAZING!  We were able to buy tickets to go at the top of the tower. It wasn’t that cheap, 15€, but I’ve couldn’t imagined myself not doing it! An hour before going up the tower, it started raining! When we killed our legs with all the steps to go at the top, it was so windy and it was still raining! Then, when we got out, it stopped raining! We were so unlucky. And then we wasted time walking around everywhere with no clue of where we were going. For diner, we went in the ‘’other’’ part of the city. I have to say, I didn’t think it was that small of a city!

On the second day. The first thing I learned is that there was a big earthquake in the region where I live. I was told that people felt it in Pisa, but I was sleeping well.

It rained so much on that day! And I didn’t even have an umbrella… After our souvenirs shopping, we got McDonalds for lunch! It always makes me laugh when I eat McDonalds here, it doesn’t belong in Italy, but I have to say, they have some things that are really good. Luckily for us, when we had to walk to the station, it stopped raining :)

My food experience was awful! For my first lunch, I ate a risotto…but it was so disgusting! I didn’t even eat half of it! Then for diner, I ate a pizza, but there was a kind of cheese in it that I didn’t like. Then, for my lunch on the second day, I ordered a burger and asked what was in it. Then when I arrived home to eat it, there was mayo in it…. And they had these weird French fries that looked really good, but the lady mixed up and gave me the normal ones.

Anyway, I have to say that PISA is a really nice small city!
