A day in Livorno.

Well, not actually in Livorno, just on the boat in the harbor. This industrial harbor doesn’t present itself well to the visitor, but the port is another gateway to the world of Italy. Pisa, as in the Leaning Tower of, is a short bus ride away and Florence is a bit further. I once overheard a couple of sailors talking about Florence and one said to the other “what can I do in Florence for four days?” He was not asking for travel tips, he simply could not imagine there was that much to see.

I stayed on the boat, not because I didn’t want to see Florence or the Leaning Tower of Pisa again, but because I needed a day to relax and because I can’t imagine only spending four hours in Florence. That would be a tease.  I need to drive back to the Leaning Tower and walk to the top.  The last time I was there Michael not old enough.

Room service was prompt and the coffee was good, and I really liked the pastries and fruit. Best of all, I didn’t have to get dressed and leave the room. Tomorrow, breakfast will be outside the room.

A day of relaxation and lying around should not be missed every once in a while!
