Having recently been to Bologna and seen their own leaning tower, I was reminded of the original and more famous one in Pisa.
I saw it with wife and friends in March 2003 on a beautiful spring day. Things went downhill fast afterwards after we travelled onto Florence….
Looking at photos and seeing the tower with your own eyes is quite different!
I remember being stunned by just how far it leans. I had previously assumed that there was some exaggeration involved!
I stayed overnight when I saw it first time – heaving by day but dead by night. So romantic in the square under the moonlight – shame I was with my best mate!
I am sure he thought the same! I love seeing things by day and by night. Completely different perspective.
