Pisa

Many people told us to skip over Pisa because it's not worth seeing some “old leaning tower”.  Well, we beg to differ and think that seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa (during the day and night) was great.  We loved it! We had lots of fun walking around the city, taking a million pics of the Tower, Duomo, and parks and of course eating some fabulous food. Granted, you only need to spend a day and a night in Pisa but it’s worth a short visit.  

At our hostel, we met some awesome people (a crazy guy from Sweden and an old guy from South Africa) and… surprise, Australians.  For a while, we began to wonder if Aussies traveled to Italy and we finally met our first Aussie couple back in Cinque Terre and some Aussie dudes at our hostel in Pisa.  The best part was meeting our roommates in our 4 bed female dorm.  Our new friends, Christy (from the States) and Kamila (from Poland), were great!  Kamila is an exchange student studying in Perugia and Christy is traveling Italy for 3 months.  Kamila told us about the Chocolate Festival being held in Perugia for a week.  She suggested that we check it out and visit her as well.  Since Christy's schedule was flexible, she decided to join us to travel to Perugia.
