Pisa, Provincia Di Pisa

Untitled

Well 3 stories:

The first time I went to Pisa I climbed the tower. It was very scary. I’m not scared of heights, but at each level you walk around the perimeter. It was about 17 years ago and there were no safety rope and you could just have stepped off the edge. It was very busy and people were jostling past each other – I’m amazed there were no terrible accidents every day!

The next time I went to Pisa, I was working in Italy selling business cards to shop keepers. It was the worst job I ever had and it was basically a scam. I was 22 and hating lying to all the lovely friendly people – so when I was fired from the job for not selling anything I actually owed the company money for my board and lodgings!

The last time I went to Pisa, it was during the World Cup 1998. I had the best time in this city as I was staying with people who lived there and were part of the italian community. We spent evenings in courtyards with pizza ovens and lanterns and people playing guitars and singing. Fantastic.

I really enjoyed staying in this part of the US … it was only a 5 day trip, but the highlight for me was visiting the Everglades and seeing the aligators and manatees from one of those giant hairdryer boats (like they used to have in gentle ben!!).

I say worth visiting – but I did not have a good trip here. I’m sure there are some amazing things to see here … but I ended up in hospital and on a drip with Amoebic Dysentry.

Maybe oneday I’ll go back – but there are many other places I would like to go first.
