Pisa with its Tower


A few photos of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in
Italy. Very beautiful place and quite small compared with what I had been lead to believe.

You can gauge some idea of how the tower has leaned over the years by simply looking at the image to the left. The door is so far out of line that the scaffolding looks very peculiarly out. But it is the door which is 'squint'.




The one below shows a full frontal of the tower and its fall from the perpendicular.






Italy


On board a ship to go around Italy. Sky doesn't look too promising does it?



As time went on the weather did improve significantly. Wonderful holiday.
