Pisa:
No need to prebook train ticket from Florence to Pisa, but DOES require prebooking to go up Pisa. Unfortunately we didn't do that, so we just took a lot of obligatory silly pictures:
Funny to watch all the other tourists doing funny poses:
The church nearby was also really grand and beautiful:
Easy walk from Trainstop to Pisa. And easy to get return tickets.
Other place you can go from Florence is Cinque Terre - wish we had gone, but heard there were mudslides there, so they closed off some hiking trails.
Milan:
Quite the fashion city, very metropolitan. However, the cathedral is AMAZING! You can get tickets to go to the top, but we accidentally didn't get tickets to go inside. And going back in line to get tickets would be another hour. :( Ah well, after 2 weeks of visiting churches, we were fine with that.
Very fashionable Milan:
The Scala Theater:
Yummy Luini Pastries:
Finally back to the States! (NY)
