Are we going to Pizza today?

Bonjourno and Konichi Wa!

This means "hello" in the language of all the people we saw in Pisa today.

"If the most remote origins of Pisa and of its name are inevitably lost in myth and legend, the most recent historic graphical aquisitions, abetted by archaeological finds, testify to the far distant Neolithic settlements and the certain presence of the Etruscans between the 6th and 3rd centuries BC." (Straight off the brochure handed over on the bus!)

Anyway, Pisa is a really beautiful place, and not just for the Tower, Cathedral and Basilica. The streets are full of fantastic examples of well preserved mediaeval buildings in many shades of ochre. The people obviously take great pride in their town (city?) and who wouldn't living in this place. Back on board for 1pm, a light lunch then into Brodies Bar for the afternoon quiz.

Not a lot going on this evening from an entertainment viewpoint so we have just slobbed it around the bars, Planet Bar and Brodies Bar drinking wine with some of our new found friends.

Tomorrow we land at the port of Civitavecchia which is the gateway to Rome. We have an afternoon tour booked so stand by for photos of the Colliseum etc on our return.

Ciaou!
