II: Italy
Day six saw us leaving Nice, saying au revoir to France and buongiorno to Italy!
Earlyish breakfast, load the bus and then all aboard and onward to Pisa.
Pisa really was a bit of a disappointment - all there is to the town is well the leaning tower. A few tour group members knew to expect from friends who'd already been. It was typically tourist - African crafts (roll eyes!), to tacky plastic Pisa tower replicas, to boxer shorts with the tower in all sorts of 'compromising' positions and angles.

I don't know about the Nikon thing, but I remember when I was in Italy and there were gazillions of tourists and most were armed with cameras, so if you can imagine what chaos there would be if they allowed photography (even without flash) in the churches or museums. Because of the low lighting conditions you'd have to use a tripod to prevent blurred images - and that would be a hazard - imagine people tripping over extended tripod legs. I think it's good they don't allow you to take pics - some people spend too much time snapping, holding up the traffic and spoiling the experience for everyone. And well, Italy's just such an beautiful country ... how do you even try to do it justice, all you can do is capture little pieces of it's beauty
