Easter monday

Dad's very specific itinery was nice, but so far we haven't followed to a tee. Finishing Venice earlier than we thought we would be, and seeing more in Florence other than Michelangelo's David. We were still on track, but today (Easter Monday) was full of driving. Having to leave the campsite and start driving by 8:30am in order to make it to Pisa and then to Rome, the day consisted of a total of 5 hours do driving. It still amazes me that we can get so far across the country in so little time.

The first hour leg of the journey to Pisa was enjoyable and quick through the Italian country side. (Read the next post for details on Pisa).

The second part we decided to make a detour in a little town on the coast called Piombino. It took us longer but the view was worth it.

The drive to Rome came next. The gps told us four hours, but with the traffic and bathroom breaks we ended up arriving after six hours. It was easy to keep us entertained before the sun set with staring out the windows, but as soon as it got dark we had to resort to other options. We made ourselves sick playing guess the flavor of the gummy bears and we lost our voices rocking out to bohemian rhapsody. We were playing guess the song until mum shut the music off when ACDC's I've got big balls came on. 

Missing the turn the first time around to the campsite, we had to find a place to flip the motor home around and come at it again. Finally parking at 10pm in the loudest lot of the place, we sat down for yet another meal of pasta and bread.
