One of the highlights of our trip to Tuscany last year was to be our visit to Pisa. To be accurate, the main attraction was not so much the city of Pisa itself, charming though it undoubtedly is, but the Field of Miracles*. Well, to be punctiliously precise, it wasn't even the Field of Miracles that had our anticipatory juices flowing, but The Leaning Tower of Pisa in particular.
* The Field of Miracles is the area housing the Duomo, Tower, Baptistry and associated buildings.
To be honest, if you discount the Field of Miracles, I'm not sure that much else in Pisa merits a visit although I expect some Pisaphile will soon put me straight on that count. However, it can't be denied that the seething masses that are constantly disgorged from the tourist buses usually have one thing in mind and that's to take one of those corny snaps ...
Advantages: Breath taking views, easy to get to and around Disadvantages: Them damn bicycles
's and cake shops amongst the many mouth-watering eateries on offer.
Food in Pisa is to die for quite literally, everywhere you walk there are delicious aromas floating out of each and every shop you pass, offering many local dishes. One thing you will find is that there are many different types of food served and lunch is generally at 1pm and your evening meal from 8pm so if you wish to avoid restaurants at busy times then avoid those two. A note to remember is that prices suddenly double in eateries around the main tourist attractions, so to avoid paying more than you have to, I would advise you find a suitable place to eat in the area known as Piazza Cavalieri or Piazza Dante which is where the locals tend to dine.

Advantages: Good price, great rooms and breakfast Disadvantages: not best surroundings
This was a definite 'how far can we go on a budget at Easter where it might be warm?' affair. Thank God for budget airlines. Me, the wife and the nipper/satan spawn off to Pisa on Ryanair from Liverpool for about £140 should do it.
But where to stay? I was all for sleeping on a beach but Italy in April wouldn't stop hypothermia I was told. So it was time to scour the internet for somewhere with 5 days availability, vaguely out of season and cheap. We had about £400 to play with. Not too bad. The wonders of the modern family meant that some of our kids were spending time with their real parents so we were down from 5 to 1. It wasn't my idea to conceive a child between us that we couldn't ship out. Damn female hormones. Rather than spend our time mourning, we thought it best to bugger off of on holiday without them to ease the pain ...
