From Venice it took about 3 1/2 hours to Pisa by Eurostar train (and we have to change train in Florence). We took a day off from Venice to travel to Pisa. Pisa is a place located in Florence. It is actually a small town indeed.
We had not face a problem while we were on board. Except for some silly travelers who kept on banging their legs at the back of our sit. It's annoying really!!! :-S
We had to change to another train in Firenze (that's Italian for Florence) and the train from Firenze to Pisa will take an hour or so. This train is not as comfortable compared to the train earlier but it will do for an hour trip. Because in some compartments the Italian prefer fresh air rather than the air conditioned. $-) Me? I don't mind but HIMSELF was a bit particular.
We arrived around 4.00 p.m and the sun was nice and hot. We were tired though from sitting in the train. We were told that we could just get a bus to our hotel...but somehow we ended up walking since the people that we asked around said it only took 15 minutes to get to the leaning tower by legs (where our hotel is).
When we arrived at the hotel, we were upgraded to a room with a balcony and view. ;-) That is very nice of him and such a relieved. The room was nice not luxury but it will do for a night...it's not that bad after all. We changed and had a short nap. Nothing to worry as this is just a small town and the main attraction is of course the Leaning Tower of Pisa - which is just 2 or 3 minutes walk from our hotel. :-D
They were lotsa tourists local as well as tourists like us Asian and European and well almost every nation. And one thing in common everyone was trying to stop the tower from falling down. LOL It's quite a funny view in the beginning but when everybody else's doing it ermmm it's not so uncommon any more ehhh? :P
