Italy Trip - Day 6

Day 6 was our final day in Italy and our return to Germany. We stopped by to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa and ate lunch. I didn't know this before getting there, but you can actually go inside of it. They only allow about 20 people inside at a time for obvious reasons.

There were TONS of people. Our tour guide said in her 28 years as a guide that she's never seen it so busy.

I couldn't resist...

After Pisa we endured the long path back through Switzerland to Germany. We arrived just after midnight. At least the tour guide played movies for us on the bus to make the time go by a little faster.

Some other pieces I forgot to mention from the Italy trip--almost all of the public restrooms in Italy didn't have toilet seats. Also, Italian drivers are insane. I even got to witness some ANGRY Italian drivers. I am 100% happy that I was stationed in Germany over Italy. Italy was actually number one on my list and Germany was second.

By the time this is getting posted, my Grandma is already back safe and sound in the States. Thank you so much to my Grandma for making the trip out here, for helping me with the move, for my gifts and meals, and for the memories. Awesome trip. And a special thank you to Scott who stayed home and took great care of my sweet, lil' baby Damien while my Grandma and I experienced Italy. Much appreciated.
