11th April Lake Guarda - Pisa

Left the beautiful Lake Guarda today and also which we didn't realise the comfort of being warm and

breakfasts sitting down on chairs which is over rated anyway, to go to Pisa.

Took a detour to Sirimione Castle on a gated island at the bottom of the lake and 4 hours later we arrived in Pisa to find out our hostel room had been
booked by someone else. So not knowing what to do headed into Pisa Center to look for the Leaning Tower.

About an hour later after walking through crowds and crowds and crowds of people and none the wiser as to where we were decided to give up the search and head for
Florence. This turned out to be the sort of best decision ever made. We jumped a day ahead of the sort of plan we had and went to the campsite in Figline where the nicest people ever work who put us in a portacabin for the next 3 nights even though they repeatedly asked us if we had a tent and we said yes? So it was the coldest cabin on earth but it had 4 walls and a shower with hot water. Plus there was a restaurant and a bar which had beer and football (for mat).
