16-06-2017 Bong & His First Riot in Italy

We walked a little bit up the defensive wall

then back to the road on the ground again~

Suddenly we saw a sign

saying free entrance

of an art gallery...

It was a little bit scary though.

We walked in through its backyard...

because the main entrance of the building is actually

located at the 'back' of the area and not the front...

The whole building seemed kinda creepy

and old...

but since it was free,

we were just glad to see something different with no cost :)

We also passed by

Leonardo da Vinci Exhibition...

and two famous towers at Lucca,

Torre Delle Ore &

Torre Guinigi

It was funny to see that

the tower is almost 'not noticeable'

due to the narrowness of the streets there...

I also went into

Chiesa dei Santi Giovanni e Reparata

(Church of Santi Giovanni e Reparata)

and before we left Lucca,

we also had some ice creams...

at this ice cream shop named

Gelateria Santini ~

and last church visit

was this Chiesa SS. Paolino e Donato

When we bought the tickets on bus,

it costed 3.50.

But when we bought them at the counter,

it costed 0.50 Euro cheaper..

So, remember to buy the tickets at counter

and not on the bus~

After few days in Italy

with just italian food,

we wanted to eat something different...

So we went into this

chinese restaurant Xin Zhon Guo

which is near to the central station in Pisa...

and ordered a three dishes dinner

for two~

The portions were not very big,

but for a dinner of 3 dishes with drinks,

we only paid 18.10 Euro

and that was rather cheap!

For our last evening in Pisa,

we took our time

enjoying the sunset at Ponte Di Mezzo...

and in very low pace strolled back

to the guest house~

However,

the road that we were used to

was closed...

due to some kind of riots~

So we ended up taking a bigger round

to walk back to the guest house.

According to the locals,

the riot was because of the football game...

As tourists we could feel how important football is

to the local people there~

It was so much traffic due to the roadblocks!

The next day,

we took our luggage,

walked to the nearby 

very local kind of cafe shop...

Arne didn't look so very happy

because our holiday had came to its end...

After having the breakfast,

we took the local bus

to Pisa Airport...

and sadly,

we had to say goodbye to the beautiful Italy,

and go back to the reality of life!

XOXO
