Pisa today, after an awful nights sleep. There's a club near the campsite that blasts music out until 3 in the morning and you can hear everything from the tents. That might have just been for the festival yesterday...fingers crossed.
Hour train journey to Pisa from Florence. Free train - hurrah! To be honest, Pisa isn't very exciting apart from the cathedral area where the Leaning Tower is. We bought a ticket that got us into everything but the tower, which was another 15€ on top. Interesting in the Battiste: every half hour, a woman sings and harmonises with herself, as the echo is so strong. The cathedral has a fantastic ceiling, decorated with gold for the entire length of the nave. The tower itself is smaller than we expected, and in impeccable condition considering it has been there since 1173. Apart from it leaning of course, and it really does lean quite a bit. Good view of the tower from the gardens of the Museo dell'opera.
