I'm in Italy!
I'm in Pisa.
Now I just have to find my car rental
and drive away.
So after my flight which was delayed
by over an hour, then a
quick flight of an
hour from Malta
then at the airport transferring over
to the car hire picking up my
car hire
I've finally arrived properly to sightseeing
in Italy now
when you think
of Italy
I'm not sure what sort of images
come to mind but there's one
really iconic image of Italy
and that is where we are
starting our Italy trip
the leaning tower of pisa
oh well I've picked a really hot day to come here
but it's quite beautiful
lovely to have the sun I'm walking down the street that
leads up to the cathedral and
the leaning tower
it is lined with places to eat all
fairly expensive though it's like 10 euro
mid set menus, pizza, are very touristy
place drinks are very expensive 3
to 5 euros for a coke
3 if you take away 5 if
you sit down
but yes it's right in you can sit at a table
and look at the pizza
tower the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Pisa Tower leaning, anyway so yes
it's quite an iconic place to be
in fact if I turn you around right now
you will see
here we are
so you can get a table here
admire the leaning tower now the reason
it's leaning is
because it's built on soft clay
and they made the
foundations too small and it leant
now it used to be closed to the public but at some point
2000 and something they shored up the foundations
so that I think 40 people at a
time can go up to the top
and get a view over the city, you have to
pre book your
tickets, they only allow a certain number of people
in and you've got 40 minutes to
go up, walk all the way up, there's no lift
and have an view and then you come all the
way down again before the next batch goes on
haven't seen if there's queue you
uyah, there is a queue to go in
hi and I've arrived in Lucca
get a look around pizza
drove here it's not very far it's actually
a lot cheaper to base yourself
in Lucca because the accommodation
and food and things quite expensive in Pisa
so I'm based in Lucca
so I've done Pisa
Lucca
I'm gonna spend tonight in Lucca and
tomorrow I'm gonna show you around Lucca
Haven't, I'm a bit early for my
accommodation
so I went to the supermarket
bought some essentials
bread, fresh brie
crisps, and it's time for a car picnic
oops, oh, and I bought some milk
At my accommodation
so let's take you in and show you
around
break in, I parked the car
nice off-road parking
come in and have a look
so nice and spacy
Lounge diner
with kitchen
fridge dishwasher cooker hob
microwave coffee machine pots pans
plates
you name it it's there
there is also an exit out here
onto a garden
look at that
nice garden that I can come and sit in
and actually if I left the door open
I can show you
the garden and into the bedroom
did I leave the door? I did leave the door open
here we go
there, sorry about all the jiggling
and there is the bedroom
very pretty hey?
spotlessly clean nice and cool
inside there is aircon units
which I'm really gonna appreciate
cuz it's summer now
and it is been hot today
so you need the air-con.
That's the hallway
through to the lounge again
then there's the bathroom
again beautiful clean, there's a shower
bidet, toilet, sink with soap
there is actually oh and just as
we go past there's a notice board full of
places to eat and restaurants that's
quite nice
there's actually a bunk beds as well
so you can sleep fuor here
and back to the lounge.
Really enjoying our first night in Italy and let's look
forward to some great sights ahead
so thank you for
joining me let's explore Italy!
