Day 4 Pisa: Tish Proves She is a Badass

We decided to test out the train system in Italy by going to Pisa without much planning. After we took the bus down to the Santa Maria novella station, we were in Pisa about an hour and a half later. Man, I wish the United States had trains like the Italian system.

The day started a little rough for Tish. When we were at the train station, she got ill. She said she wanted to go on (she is a badass), so we decided to continue on the way to Pisa. Pisa itself was well, Pisa. The main attraction was about a 15 minute walk from the train station. We saw a fairly nice-looking cathedral and a fairly poorly built tower and then we decided to grab lunch. I would say more about it but that is about all I have.

Lunch was at least out of the sun and was okay and then we decided to walk through the botanical gardens, which quite frankly was a highlight of the trip. Anyone who goes to Pisa should be mandated to go to the botanical gardens, but then they would be too busy. Wait, that's a horrible idea. No one who goes to Pisa should go to the botanical gardens except us.

The botanical gardens had a lot of shade and some really interesting plant life and a weird little mural that you stuck your head into and did a 360 and could see a seagull's view of Pisa. And most important of all, the botanical garden had lizards!!! Then we walked back to the train station hopped on the train and we're back in Florence by 4:00.
