Later the same evening that I had left Brig, I arrived in Milan, Italy.
.
I did not get to see much of that city, as I was soon on a train to Florence, where I took in on a hotel near the station, and left on the first train in the morning, so I did not get to see much of that city either.
I was headed toward Rome, but decided to take a detour through Pisa while I was in the neghbourhood.
.
As soon as I arrived, I headed straight for the Leaning Tower.
I knew the general direction, and I figured it would stick out enough for me to spot it easily.
I ended up wandering for quite some time before I saw the Leaning Tower jutting out at the end of a street.
I arrived just before they were closing, so I just barely managed to buy a ticket.
I had not dared going up the Eiffel Tower on this trip, but I was determined that I would not let my fear of heights stop me again, particularly because this tower was much smaller, and did not look that crooked to me.
As soon as I started ascending the stairs, the tower started to seem much more crooked.
I just about managed to get to the top before I had hurry down to ground level again.
As I strolled back to the train station along the Arno River, I was happy that I had made myself go up there.
I took a room when I arrived in Rome, and readied myself for another day of new experiences.
.
Interesting – I didn’t realize you would have that sensation of it leaning when you were inside too.
Oh, it was much worse on the inside!
The whole world felt askew 😛
Interesting – I don’t know anyone else who went into the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
I haven’t been to Italy, yet, but Florence is where I want to go, Perhaps next year?
It’s probably nice there, but I did not get to see a thing 😛
Hope you enjoy yourself 🙂
Thank you. I am sure that I will.
Nope, I don’t like feeling like I would fall.
Yeah, it was pretty scary 😛
