Pisa Centrale : Sakit tulang belakang tgk Pisa

Sambungan eurotrip aku, from Venice we headed to Florence or otherwise known as Firenze in Italy. We quickly went to our hostel and left our bags there to catch the next train to Pisa Centrale. Pisa is a small town outside of Firenze, about 1 hour 20 minutes by train.

We only allocated half a day for Pisa since there's nothing else there besides the leaning tower. At least we thought it was half a day. By the time we reached Pisa it was already 4 pm and in Italy by 5.30 - 6 pm the sky would go dark, so we had to take pictures a.s.a.p. So we were walking like crazy and this Pisa thing is not near the stazione at all, about 20 minutes gak aa. Itu pon jln laju. Tak sempat nak usya2 awek. Basically, we just went to the leaning tower, took some pictures, bought some souvenirs and went back to Firenze.

Nih yg sakit tulang belakang nih. Posing same senget ngan Pisa.

This is the church next to the Pisa. Basically the leaning tower of Pisa was built to show how big Christianity/Catholicism(notsure) was at that time

At the end of the day, on the way back to Firenze

For everybody's infomation, what is so interesting bout the leaning tower of Pisa is that, it was built that way. It's not leaning one way bcoz tanah tuh mendap ke ape. But the architech built it that way so that it'll have some significance in the future and it has. For me as a future engineer, I was amazed how people from that time could think about things like that. They don't have proper education like we do, everything they have to figure out themselves and yet they amazed me with their creations. To tell you the truth, I only learnt that Pisa was built that way only when I was standing in front it, mesmerized by the architecture. Hopefully one day I'll be someone who creates something that would make other people stare at my creation at awe.
