The first stop on our cruise is Livorno, Italy. As far as we can tell, there is nothing interesting to do in Livorno, so we opted to take the train to nearby Pisa. Sadly, as we discovered, there’s also very little to do in Pisa. We walked to the leaning tower and nearby cathedral, looked at them for a while, and then headed back to the train station since it started raining.

In Pisa, we were (almost) swindled twice. At the train station, a pickpocket opened Valerie’s backpack, but quick action from Valerie prevented our jackets from being stolen. At the supermarket near Pisa’s main square, the cashier tried to pass a 50 Euro cent coin off as a 2 Euro coin. Sadly, due to my slow reaction time, he got away with it. For anyone headed to Pisa, be sure to watch your bags and check your change!
