took a one day trip from rome to pisa (by train). actually makes more sense to go from florence to pisa, so take note of that k? haha...
pisa is small, but it does have a number of attractions. but of course the most important is the cathedral, together with its famed leaning tower... most people just take a day trip to pisa, and it's more than enough. an afternoon would be enough actually. and if you don't have the moolah, u can spend even less time there. to go up the tower would cost you 15EUR, and tours of the cathedral etc have different prices. anyway, on to the photos!!!

the famed duomo (cathedral) in the piazza dei miracoli
the baptistry (same place)
ah... u see how it leans? scroll further down for cooler leaning pics! haha...
we went up the tower, which doesn't really look slanted (not on photo anyway), but felt really strange. we were climbing up the stairs, n could really feel the leaning. anyway, the view's great from the tower.
yup, so that's me.
the duomo as seen from the tower
just trying to show how it slants. good?

and from the main door itself, u can see the slant. haha...

the whole tower! quite an obvious slant rite?

the same, in greyscale

it's really nice to see people jus having fun. we had a picnic on the grass too :)

we, as in janet and me, as well as celia (janet's friend) who joined us for paris and italy! they both LOVE taking photos. seen here, they're examining the photos i took for them n having a good laugh at some of the crazy ones. =P

the duomo with pisa in the backdrop. cool?

ended our day walking back to the train station, passing the river. it's beautiful. and the houses. i have to say, the houses in europe are so colourful and so quaint. if only singapore houses could be like that. :)
