Next stop, Pisa

Tyler and I got ourselves a quick lunch of Calzones and soda, while the girls had gelato at a little cafe along the Borgo dei Greci, near some of the leather stores. Since I didn't pack enough t-shirts for this hostile weather, I got another cheapie at an outdoor stall. We eventually got our group reassembled back in the Piazza Della Signoria. It was time to take our excursion to Pisa. Jurgen led us on a high speed walk to the other side of town where Salvatore waited with the bus. According to Mappy.com, we walked almost a mile in the ultra-heat and humidity of Florence in about 10 minute. Within minutes of boarding the bus most of the kids were asleep. It took about an hour and a half to reach Pisa. When we got there the bus was once again barred from driving in town. We got off at a big bus park then boarded a long propane-powered bus to the complex at Pisa. Like Florence, Pisa's cathedral has a baptistry, a cathedral, and a bell tower. In the case of Pisa, the bell tower is the tourist attraction.
