The decision to return to Pisa was really forced on me because of a lack of reasonable alternatives. After spending a lot of time in Florence I knew I had to get away from the big city. The day away in Siena was great and so thats what I intend here in Pisa where the hostel is pretty good and at an affordable price.
However, yesterday was fun, with a group of lads who are well old enough to know better, calling them selves 'Cheeky Northern Monkeys'. They are motor scooter fanatics who all collect them from wherever they can. These old scooters certainly hold their value with some the scooters in Florence yesterday worth up to 5000 pounds. Their excuse for this trip is a scooter rally in Siena today.
The Samsonite stylish luggage suits this Lambretta from 1959 vintage, and the case, even older, is used for storing Christmas decorations when it isn't in use on scooter trips. What beautiful scooter though, I had one when I were a lad.
The weather has warmed up and so last evening I took some night pictures in the centre of Florence. D
