Today I slept in for a long time - I need a quiet day off. We're going to San Gimignano today, but at a leisurely pace. Since I don't have to leave the apartment until the...

Hello—I'm staying at Hotel 900 and they serve breakfast in the room, which is decorated quite cozy with antique furniture. I can highly recommend it! Today, we're heading to the...

Today by bus U 06 to Montecatini Alto - high up. The bus driver has plenty of time to chat and leaves ten minutes later. However, he tries to make up for it, giving his all on...

In the morning we started off to Madina de Pisa. A beach resort 10 minutes away. Very few tourists, a beautiful stone and a beautiful sandy beach. We leave again around half...

Our last destination in Italy was the bell tower of the cathedral in Pisa. No longer a 'secret tip', the square seems to increasingly become a place of bizarre social behavior:

So now Livorno! By train from Firenze Centrale to Livorno Centrale, 1.25 hours for 10.40 Euros, the German railway could learn a thing or two from that! In Livorno, I took the...
