one step at a time-my life in a backpack Ok where to start? Well I'm 23 an aussie and after years of talking about doing this travel thing I have set off on my way. The idea is to see the uk and europe (highly original I know) But since I set out here I just don't know where to stop!! I believe the travel bug may just have bitten me! But really you only live once and why not see everything. Life should be about happiness and experiences not stress and misery! Well at least thats what I want!

Florence via Pisa

ITALY | Saturday, 7 Apr 2007 | Views [350]

What can I say about Pisa. It's pretty cool the tower actually leans and is slightly curved. You can get a good food near here relatively cheap. It is pretty crowed which can make getting a photo some how difficult. The little market stolls are ok and ... Read more >
