Here we are in Pisa! This was the only day we had some rain--and it lasted for about five minutes just as we arrived at the Leaning Tower. Construction on the tower began in the 10th Century and by the second storey it had started to lean. Over time, efforts have been made to stop the lean, and later storeys were built with one side longer than the other so it now has a curious bend to it. Of course, we had to join the other tourists and do the silly photos!
Although we'd all seen images of the tower before, we were still amazed by the the angle of lean...
Hang on, it's not leaning any more!!
Both Charlie and Sophie have been awed by the interiors of the cathedrals and basilicas we have visited. The ceiling of Pisa's cathedral was particularly impressive.
