31-05-2017 Bong & His First Trip to Lucca

The bus to Marina di Pisa never came...

So we decided not to wait and just head back to our guesthouse~

Besides capturing the nice street scenes,

we did not forget to take some selfies too!

Hei Arne...

Ser her! (Look here!)

Lol~

We stopped by

at this Caffe Miami

to have a break...

After a glass of beer,

we continued walking.

passed by Bagni di Nerone,

(The Baths of Nero)

an archaeological site in Pisa...

Then 'home' again to enjoy a simple dinner

made from some 'ingredients' bought from Carrefour 

and not to forget,

a bottle of red wine!

The next day,

we walked to the bus stop,

Pisa P.Za Manin

and took the bus to another small city named

Lucca!

The ticket would be cheaper

if you buy in at machine,

or a shop...

Along the way,

the breathtaking suburb italian scenery 

was just blowing our mind away...

Plus...

the great driving skill of 

the bus driver that drove perfectly

across the tiny narrow alley was also very impressive!!

The VAI bus took around 30 minutes,

from Pisa to Lucca.

It is better to get the time schedule of the bus departure

when you arrive at Lucca

so that you can plan ahead.

After getting the time schedule

from the Vai Bus ticket counter,

we started exploring Lucca...

26-05-2017 Bong & His First Greek Food in Italy

The weather was so nice

and we spent sometime taking picture

at Ponte Di Mezzo~

After that we continue walking...

passing by Palazzo Gambacorti

(Gambacorti Palace)

and Comune di Pisa

(the Municipality of Pisa building).

We walked,

and walked,

and ended up at this square

Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.

At that time,

they were like having 

an international festival...

We saw spanish food,

greek food,

mexican food

and many more...

Though 

we just had our brunch,

we decided to order something light to eat~

We ordered this

Piatto Gyros

(not even sure if the name was in italian or greek),

and it was really good!

After that,

the time to take bus to the beach was approaching,

so we decided to walk to the bus stop...

According to Google,

the bus stop is near to the river side...

We walked back to the river side,

passed by this amazing little church,

Santa Maria della Spina...

passed by another beautiful bridge,

Ponte della Cittadella

where the Cittadella e Arsenale Repubblicano

(Citadel and Republican Arsenal)

is just right beside it~

We ended up walking to

one of the main terminals instead of a bus stop,

because it was holiday and it seemed not right

at that little quiet bus stop.

We met up with more people

that wanted to go to Marina di Pisa beach as well...

However,

the bus never turned up!!

XOXO
