A quick wander through town took us down to the Fontebranda, the medieval water supply of the city.
Wandering back up into the city centre I stopped off at the sanctuary of St Catherine to have a quick look round and then headed over to the Santa Maria della Scala to have a look around their exhibits.
I wasn’t expecting much from the Santa Maria della Scala, but was amazed by the size of the complex once you got down to the lower levels, with a massive archaeological museum housed in tunnels carved out underneath the Duomo.
Significantly later than I was originally expecting I left the complex and headed back down onto the Campo for a final lunch, then it was time to head back to the hotel and pick up bags.
I decided to get a taxi back up the hill to the train station, and was glad we did as the station was quite a bit further out of town than it looked on the map.
Just over two hours later and nearly a minute early our second train of the day pulled into Pisa Centrale station, this unfortunately meant that I had significantly longer to wait at Pisa Airport than I was expecting as I’d assumed at least one connection would fail or one train would be cancelled.
Thankfully, bag drop was open early so I was able to checkin and head through to the departures lounge and the journey home.
