Today we were up really early so we could get the 757 am train to Pisa. We had issues with taxis so ended up getting 2 separate ones to the Termini. We managed to find the train platform we needed (despite having to pay a girl 5 euro for giving us directions... bloody extortionists!). The train was fantastic - it was a Trenitalia train. We were in the second class compartment and the tickets were only 9 euro each, which is a bargain for an almost 3 hour train trip. The train had power plug points for charging and a little table in between the seats. The only negative was there was a whole class of teenagers in our carriage... so you can imagine the noise and drama associated with 40 italian teenagers! LOL

European Adventure - Day 15 - Pisa / Florence
We arrived in Pisa at 10.45am and straight away caught a taxi to the tower (after dropping our bags at the Left Luggage counter at the station).
After Pisa we caught the train to my favourite Italian City - Florence. :) I was so excited to be on our way here, and it definitely lived up to my memories... I love it!
Tomorrow morning I am planning to run to the top of Piazzale Michelangelo so I can take some panoramic pics of Florence. It should be good to stretch my legs out up on the way there too! :)
We are catching the train to Venice tomorrow afternoon which we are very excited about. I can't wait to see the kids faces when they are on their first gondola ride. :)
