Photos!

Ok, so I lied. Last blog I said I wouldn't post pictures till London since they were on my laptop, and I had no way to transfer them over to the computers at the internet cafe. Until I remembered my mp3 player is also a USB hard drive. Which can be plugged into other computers. Which can also store photos. I think you have a fair idea of where this is headed.

The tower. The funny thing is, if the tower had been built as originally intended, no-one would come to Pisa, because apart from the tower there is absolutely bugger all else to see here. And without the lean it isn't particularly remarkable.

An equally unremarkable photo of Pisa - this one showing a nice terraced effect in housing along the river that flows through town.

Part of what I had for lunch the day I was in Pisa. The great thing about being in Europe is that all the European beer is really cheap, so I can enjoy a Becks, for example, without having to pay an arm and a leg for the privilege.

On to Praiano now, and the sunny Mediterranean...

This was the view from the hotel balcony that we had each morning. But what looks like a million dollar view only cost the four of us a total of about $160 a day. It really was a fantastic place. The only downer was the fact you needed to descend a 300 metre cliff face to get to the beach, but you can't have everything I guess.

A shot of the harbour at Praiano. Pretty much all the locals own boats here. They buy a cheap scooter for the road, and pour all their cash into having souped up speedboats.

The dining area at the hotel we stayed at. I'm sure there are better views in the world to have whilst eating, but I'm yet to see one.

Ok, I was going to post pictures of Pompeii as well, but this shitty Itie computer is refusing to upload any more pictures onto blogger, so I'm giving it away. Might try again tomorrow. It's basically a large city of ruins - think of Ipswich and you'll get the general gist of it.
