pisa and florence: 26-27 may, day 3 and 4

pisa

pisa is a small little town an hour plus train ride from florence. soon after arriving in florence and settling our accomodation in the lao pok hostel, we set off for pisa and spent the rest of our evening there. weather was cool. nice and quiet town...

beautiful sunset at the train station




the leaning tower of pisa, and the leaning gf of...eh..singapore! it's really to see everyone taking photos of themselves 'pushing the tower'.




duomo


a couple taking their wedding photos

florence

teeny weeny smart car on the streets. they are rather common sights in europe. i wouldnt mind owning one of them! easier to park and drive!


ponto vecchio, the oldest surviving bridge in the city


michelangelo's very famous david. photo taken illegally! this was where my bf got caught by the museum person in charge haha.


postcard. italian artists during the renaissance period had a fascination with human anatomy. there are many sculptures of naked people in the museums.



florence's duomo, a humongous church!






the kawaii italian girl that ventured into my room and started speaking to me in a long string of italian. i tried asking her for her name and her age but obviously both of us had no clue what each other are talking about...oh well..but we managed on fine haha. she was adorable! but kind of creepy to have someone suddenly coming into my room. she was the landlord's daughter i think.


streets lined up with vendors selling over priced souvenirs and fake goods. it's like those in hk and bangkok.


stumbling upon a wedding! everyone stood waiting, but i dont see the groom or the bride.
