Pisa and the Cinque Terre

Yesterday we took a day trip from Florence to Pisa then to the Cinque Terre. Both beautiful places. Our origional plan for this day was to go to Siena, but when we woke up we were surprised to find that it was daylight savings in Italy and we had jumped ahead an hour. So we quickly changed our plans and hopped on the next train to Pisa to see the famous tower. We arrived in Pisa an hour later and found the tower. It was leaning!! Definitely a cool experience and something you do not see every day. We walked around the tower and took many pictures! As we had to catch a train in an hour, we headed back through the streets of Pisa to the train station. It was a very fun little town. Our next train took us to La Spezia. Once there we had to get on another train that would take us through the Cinque Terre: 5 little towns on a hill. We decided to get off at two of the towns. The first had an amazing view of the ocean and many lemon and orange trees. We walked around for a bit and enjoyed the view before moving on to the next stop. This town was also very cute. It was a little fishing village with big rocks and lots of little shops. After a full day of exploring, we took the train all the way back to Florence, grabbed a quick dinner and settled into our hotel. It was a really nice day!
