From La Spezia we caught a train to Pisa - we had a very long walk with our bags through the town to the Tower - whihch was well worth - the heat is very dry and Darlene loves it - the others aren't so happy about it. Considering she is the onlyone not lugging a heavy bag around. We had lunch in Pisa and then back onthe train towards Florence.

Florence is beautiful (one of Jimmys favourite places) nice big streets and beautiful buildings, we stayed in a lovely apartment and walked across the bridge covered in jewellery shops. The next morning we were up where we said good bye to Michael and hopped on the eurostar for Rome.
