It Leans! It Leans!

Okay I know it's the Leaning Tower of Pisa but really, I was really suprised by how much it actually... well... leans.

To be honest, there isn't really much that Pisa has got going for it apart from this tower. Sure it's on this beautiful square that the locals call 'Campo dei Miracoli' ('Field of Miracles') full of other leaning buildings (personally I think it earned the moniker because it's a miracle that any structure is standing on that damned field at all) but there's really nothing else in town (no matter how many 'Pisa, More than just the Leaning Tower!' brochures they hand out).

Also, I should mention angrily that they charge a whooping 15 euro to ascend the tower and make you wait over an hour (we waited something like 80 minutes) before allowing you up there. Luckily we made good use of the time by taking as many of these stupid 'With the Leaning Tower' pictures as we could.

Oh, plus we got endless amusement out of the fact that you're not actually allowed on the grass so every once in a while the security guard would come out with a whistle to chase everybody off but after 2 minutes people would resiliently get back onto the grass (if once you fail...)...

Eventually they just turned the sprinkler system on :p
