We arrived in Florence late in the evening of the next day. We took a stroll around the city to find some decent food to eat, preferably kebabs since it was cheap. It was surprisingly a bit hard to find it in our area and when we actually found one, the Pakistani workers kept on asking us questions like where do we come from and etc. Man, I was really hungry and I couldn't really bother giving them any answers. All I did was just nodding and said 'oh' and 'uh' to what he said while muching my kebab without even looking at him. Well, I was hungry and the kebab was way more important than his questions. So Miza was the one being nice and all, answering his questions. Upon leaving the place, one of the workers said something that made me cringed and laughed at the same time. He said with full of confidence, "Very hot..girl!"
Whatever, there's no way I'm going back to eat there. Lol.
Anyway, the next day we went to Pisa. It was quite far and the ticket from Firenze Rifredi was around €8 I think. Can't really remember. But honestly, there was nothing in Pisa but there was pizza, geddit? Alright that was hambar. Sorry. But really, there was nothing in Pisa except for that Pisa Tower. Geez. Gimme back my money please. And do you know that they rarely check our tickets while we were on the trains? Like if you need to go to Firenze Rifredi to Firenze Santa Maria Novella which is just a station away, don't bother buying a ticket cause there'll no inspection. But there will be if you're taking a train to another city such as Milan - Venice or Venice - Florence. Somehow you can be nice like us you know, we bought every single ticket :p

Then we hurriedly went to Cinque Terre as it was almost noon. It took about one hour journey from Pisa to the Riomagiorre (one of the villages). I know I've said this a few times already but Cinque Terre was amazing! The sea was sapphire blue, and you can see the fish swimming across the water. The colored buildings somehow surprisingly complement the sea. Everything was magnificently beautiful. I was just sitting by the water and listen to sound of waves hitting the stones. I could sit there all day long.. but I'll get sunburned. Teehee. So we went to next village, Manarola. This is the village that usually would popped up when you google 'Cinque Terre' and hit the search button. But I think I like Riomagiorre better. It's smaller and there were less tourists. I mean, how can you enjoy the nature when there are a lot of people? Can you? I know I can't.
We wanted to visit Vernezza too but time was too constraining since the last train back to Firenze Rifredi was at 5.30pm. It was really frustrating when the train delayed. I could've went to Vernezza. Haih. But anyway, if you're planning to visit Italy, put Cinque Terre on top of your list. You won't regret it. Trust me on this. As for Pisa, well, it's really up to you. If I were you, I would spend my day in Cinque Terre and do some bonding session with Mother Nature or swim at the sea and jump from the cliffs into the water. Just refreshing. I really wish I did that.
p/s: didn't stay long in Cinque Terre but I'm tan now
Alright, scroll down for pictures :)
