Day 10: May 2, 2019
Today has been a bit of a travel day as we make our way from the Cote d'Azur into country number four, Italy. We start off with breakfast at the hotel and then we load up the bus and hit the road. We drive, as we have done the last couple of days, along the French Riviera and then cross the border into Italy. We then continue to straddle the coast, in the region of Liguria, before passing Genoa and then into Tuscany.
We make a couple of stops en route, the second for some lunch when the group get to use some Italian phrases for the first time. Soon afterwards we arrive to the city of Pisa where we spend most of the afternoon. Here the group see the famous leaning tower and also get to visit the Cathedral and Baptistry in the beautiful Field of Miracles.
After some free time to explore the sights we return to the bus and finish our days travelling when we arrive to our hotel in Florence. After checking in we take a walk in the centre of the city and already the group are struck by the beauty and atmosphere of this special place. We go for a traditional pizza dinner which the group enjoy very much and then take a leisurely walk back to the hotel.
