We woke up early in Volterra to a beautiful day. The clouds weren’t completely gone, but the sun did make an appearance. The town was quiet - except the echos of the pigeons in the square, and the view from the city wall was again gorgeous. We noticed wind turbines off in the distance - but we also noticed a nuclear power plant as well. Again, there is no perfect place.
We turned on Brittney and left Volterra. (Brittney is the name we gave our GPS system, which was great to have! She spoke with a British accent.) Anyway, the drive to Pisa was beautiful. We returned the car to the airport and got a cab to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was actually more beautiful than I expected. We walked around, took photos and then sat down at a nearby Pizzeria for some pizza in Pisa.
We hired a cab to take us to the train station and caught our train to Levanto - just about an hour ride. Once there, we walked about 3 minutes to our hotel - which is really nice - for our 3 day stay (our vacation from our vacation) in Levanto. That after we went to a Lavenderia (laundrymat) which was located right next door to an outdoor bar, where we had a drink and went online while we did our wash. Met some more Americans there, and had a fun chat while doing our wash. Had an okay dinner that night and went to bed a bit on the early side. A fairly slow, easy day which was nice to have.
