day 3
the next day, we left our hotel and headed towards florence. on the way, we stopped by orvieto, an ancient town on a cliff.



we had to take a tramride up.

the slope is damn steep yknow!

up there, we went to the fortress protecting the city from enemies. (actually the cliff already acts as a natural protection, but who cares)



went to this 500 year old well, st patrick's well. it's damn dark down there yknow!


from the top of the well


from the bottom of the well.

then we went to see the duomo, aka cathedral.

after that we went to pisa. saw the leaning tower of pisa (duh)! my dad took a picture of me 'headbutting' the tower (take that you wops! this is from france!) but i don't want to post it. and had cappuccino with the tower as the background! :D


there's dad and his beer... i love coffee! see the empty cup at the corner! :D


and at the exit, guess what i saw????!!!!


that's right, the ARSENAL YOUTH TEAM!!!!!!! :D apparently they're in italy for some holiday or something! whhhhaaaaaaaaa maybe one day they'll be the next thierry henry or something! i searched arsenal.com for the name of that coach (far right) but i couldnt recognise anybody! but who cares! VIVE L'ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the local team pisa was playing against venice for promotion to the 1st division! and they won 3-1! in the coffee shop some pisa fans were shouting! and when we left pisa the match was over and the fans kept honking their cars and celebrating! they were waving their pisa flags like what we did when singapore won the AFC! yay!

okay, then we went to our florence hotel, hotel delta florence! it's next to the highway! and it's quite nice! had dinner! and then slept!
