Pisa

Pisa

Breezed through Pisa en route back to Piedmonte. Tried to score terrific pizza, compromised on adequate. The trip went 0-2 on pizza; it was that kind of movie.

Pisa's tower and Duomo and baptistery all far more impressive than you'd expect. Will require much additional inspection on subsequent journey.

Camping in Piedmont turns out far from onerous, as camper is equipped with everything necessary to civilization. Wine cellar, a glass rack, dual iPhone chargers, and a tent that erects itself as soon as you take it from the bag. (Packing the tent, on the other hand, required seven attempts, much poring over the documentation, and the assistance of a team of French bicyclists.)
