Arrived in Pisa after a fairly stressful drive from Perugia, went into Siena on our way which was beautiful though not much different from Perugia, you can really get swamped here, it seems that every town has so much culture, art, architecture and food to explore there doesnt seem enough time. Anyway after finally finding ourselves driving around and around Pisa we stopped outside a building that looked like a hotel! and what fun it was a real ex-convent called San Croce in Fossebanda, they renovated it in 2000 leaving most of the authentic flooring, walls, etc. thank goodness they added modern bathrooms, it was a beautiful place to stay and actually managed to make us both feel quite serene!!!!! the next morning we went off to Pisa to see the main attraction.. and how lovely it is, its fascinating and exactly as you expect it to be - had a great meal in a restaurant called Bella Napoli while being entertained by 4 english people on the next table.... oh my goodness were they boring.....not sure we want to come back! Florence next...
