7 Nov 2010: Day 3 - Italy (Prato/Pisa/Venice)


This morning, we head towards Pisa to visit the 'Square of Miracles' to appreciate the famous trio: The leaning Tower of Pisa, the Baptistery and the Duomo.

It is drizzling lightly when we alight our tour coach. Upon alighting the tour coach, we are swarmed by those trying to make a living selling umbrellas. We are told that each retractable umbrella costs Euro 5 when it is raining and Euro 3 when it is sunny. Thinking back, I regret not having purchased one for keepsake. 


Lunch is Italian spaghetti which is nice and tasty until Eddie adds chilli flakes to it. It is so spicy that I cannot stomach it. What a waste!

Afterwards, we drive pass the region of Chianti, where famous Italian wines are produced and then across the Apennine mountain range to one of the most romantic cities in Italy - Venice.

We spend the night in Holiday Inn Venice.
