4. pizza and foluolun Isaac
Got up at half past 6 am, most of them also in the dream, one person out of the hotel, nearby to walk.
Sure enough, this neighbourhood is very small, just next to the highway. Square of the building, no special features. Community at the end of the street there is a bus station, several large package of "carrying a foreigner" Alice, is waiting for the bus. It seems, is the figure the hotel cheap ass "bulk." In addition, even morning exercise figure has not seen. You can imagine, this hotel's location is isolated.
More than 7 points, we have to get up.
Wife and children to eat breakfast. Today's breakfast is slightly worse than yesterday 's. But still can guarantee the bread, bacon, eggs, fruit, coffee, and so on, we all just basically satisfied with just the taste of coffee is too weak, pale and tasteless.
8: 30 clock collection, until nearly the only start at 9 o'clock.
The car into the expressway, bypass the Florence city, to the West 100 km outside of Pisa.
From Florence to Pisa on either side of the highway, is agricultural land, most of which seems to just have finished harvesting wheat.
In addition to the yellow wheat stubble, most notably, a huge cylindrical Straw Bale, will know the machine. Just Tanabe and farms, few see work of figure and agricultural machinery. According to Zhang Guide, Italy people lazy and complacent like leisure. Car after one or two industrial area, large and small factories, and domestic industry development zone. Just passing by several car base, aroused our interest. Each base, almost all arranged and dozens of sedans. In fact, not much in the car on the road, from time to time to see cars pass. These cars. Or have the cockpit itself or by a car towing. This attraction is a clear indication of the said sheet Guide, also shows the European standard of living gap with us.
Two hours later, a motor vehicle into a parking lot.
Go to Pisa to change Ferry car, scenic motor vehicle from outside is not allowed to enter. Ferry car off after 10 minutes, stop at the corner of a lane. This is a pedestrian street. One side is a wall along the walls is selling all kinds of souvenirs stalls. Hawker quite a number of black men and women in, souvenirs, there are quite a number of African handicrafts and clothing. Pisa is located in the Eastern Mediterranean coast, opposite the city of Tunisia, Africa, so many Africans across the Eastern Mediterranean, came to Italy for a living is not surprising.
Along the alley walk 300 meters, into a door, even before the eyes.
In the sparkling clear blue sky lights, a group of white marble medieval buildings, standing stands in a large green grass. Near is a huge cylindrical construction, covered with dark red on the dome. The lower part of the buildings around the Roman pillar consists of the upper arch Windows, decorated with exquisite carving. This group of buildings, is a magnificent Church. Grassland of distal, is the world famous leaning tower of Pisa.
According to reports, this place called miracle square, located in Italy Tuscany province to the North of Pisa.
This group of outside wall is creamy white marble with unified Roman architectural style, but their relative independence of the building, built in the 10th century a.d. – the 15th century. The building contains a baptism Church, just came in from our recent cylindrical building, in the center of the Cathedral, the distal end of the Bell Tower (the Tower of Pisa) and the nearby cemetery.
Along the lawn, with the tourist flow of people, we are the first to walk to the leaning tower of Pisa.
The tower known as the Tower, the real is real, really badly skew. It is said that the Tower has deviated from the Taki 4.5 m and 1 mm per year, to the Southeast. Tower 7 layers, each layer has a white Marble-Arch of ring Gallery, the top of the tower is a cylindrical, with exquisite decoration with arches, and arches form. The Pisa renowned mainly also is not its extraordinary slope, nor is its position in the history of architecture, but because the year 1590, was born in Pisa in the physics community, leading the Galileo in Pisa to do a free fall: the weight of the two different spheres from the same height at the left, the results of two shot at landing, which discovered the law of free fall and overthrew another master of Aristotle's physics. Aristotle thought that heavy objects will first reach the ground, the speed of falling bodies with proportional to its quality. In fact, Galileo is in Pisa did free fall experiments, history, there have been no conclusive, but this doesn't seem to have no impact on Pisa's fame.
Tower of the surrounding are photography of populations.
People liked to find a suitable place to make a gesture, a presumption of the Tower, or will hold in Tajikistan. My wife and children are very enthusiastic about this activity, a POSE, attached as a picture, then, seems to be less successful. The tower can climb up to visit the tickets is 6 euros. Watch the Tower door there from long team, taking into account the time of collection, we also had to look at the door.
Opposite the Tower, there is a door, the door is a skewed oblique in lanes, on each side of the road was sold with souvenirs stalls.
Our little guy, flower 2.5 euro bought a stoneware square panorama, and with 5 euros to buy a metal tower model. Then, the whole family along the tower and the other side of the Church, enjoy and admire these beautiful buildings, walked slowly. After the Church, he saw the door bustling here don't ticket, you can visit free of charge. Think of the time remaining, so you gotta look round the door inside the brilliant light.
Team in square Gates collection, go down to the walking Street when you come to junction, get on the ferry car back to the parking lot.
Local time 12: 00 at noon or so, we sat on the tour bus, the first one returned foluolun Isaac.
Back to foluolun Isaac, it was around 2: 00 pm local time.
Zhang guide also does not have to eat, to lead everyone to go to the first spot, located in the city of the edge of a small hill of Michelangelo square. Car along the Green Tree Evergreen mountain road circlingBut, soon, got to the peak of the square.
The square, stands in the square on the edge of the ancient city of entire foluolun Isaac.
In the surrounding mountains, surrounded by green trees crowded together, roomy throughout the city. Most of the city is 3 to 4 layers, covered with red tiles Spire building, modernization of reinforced glass skyscrapers. High red tiles for the roof, are some of the Church in the distance. The most striking is a huge onion head of dome and a high Square Tower. According to Zhang guide explains, this is a sign of foluolun Isaac — the Virgin Cathedral of various flowers and Joe Torre Tower. At the foot of the Hill, a wide river around the city, the River in the midday sun. This River is called Arnold River, the river has several style classical veranda, to the River add a lot of charm, also makes this city, more full of poetic,
Square there is a temporary structure of the stand, it is said that every summer, concerts here.
Stand covers many, even on the top of the famous works of Michelangelo — David marble statue (duplicate), have been around the pipe up shelf, visible this foluolun Isaac on ordinary citizens enjoy music the attention it deserves. You know, this concert is not spending money. Think about the stars of the summer nights, Li Tian in the breeze of the square, watching the silver light of micro-pan, blinking out Arnold river water out of the ancient city of light, listening to the melody and beautiful music, this realm and enjoy, it will make you float it "Feather and up to heaven." The stand out of the shelf, a cursory look at the statue of David, scattered and took some pieces like the rush to board the bus drove to the mountain, and truly ready to begin our journey to the ancient city.
Car road down the Hill, across the Arno River, stop by the River a broad Street.
Time is more than 2 pm, therefore, it is imperative that lunch. Walk into the old city, Zhang guide take you first went to the restaurant. Professor a week and we have a 6 port, with the consent of Zhang Guide remains the same, yesterday and on its own, find a place to eat. With the mission to another house 3, also to join our ranks, hope and we feel truly foreign small restaurants. This one's parents are very young, my mother seems to be an edit, children are in primary school grade 5. The first full mission personnel do introduce yourself, this little guy as the representative of the whole family, expressive and said: "our home is a wage-earners, European travel is not easy. "Kid stuff and everyone in laughter and innocent, the practical experience to the parents of the clergy and the Chinese people living in a little frustrated. Unexpectedly, Zhang Guide and lead the televised away, we find the 2, 3 restaurants, regardless of whether there are people in there, said noon business hour has elapsed, ready to rest. High season of tourism, restaurants in 2 pm half going to rest, and door-to-door delivery of business will not do, really a bit bizarre. Looked around, then do not seem to be near to other restaurants. Children eat rice of risk with life and soothing, let the editor mother is a bit of a panic. And we had to stop by and say hello, pull on her husband children, rush to catch up with the team.
Professor Zhou and we haven't been this scared, so that women and children-in-place to rest, I and my Chou Professor separately.
I entered the right lane, the lane width, are flat and straight, intersecting at right angles, so would not get lost. Through several Lane, not only didn't find restaurant passers-by are few. Can't stay, get back to the in-place, equal no Professor Zhou. Slightly, we decided to toward the team's direction. Gone but a hundred ten metres, to a small square. In a crowded square, visitors, there is the end of a church. On the right side of the street is that several restaurants are in business. Time is a little tight, Gu not on square and Church of scenery, quickly settles into the restaurant. We are a home to three pizza, cold dish, drink a bit and a glass of beer, has spent more than 30 euro, eat also very satisfied with it.
Just finished, Zhang Guide and lead the team has gone over.
Our Quick Checkout, quickly followed by Brigade road. A square, not far, suddenly found the child did not talk to me and my wife are anxious. Hurried and ticket guide hit Hello, gas and very corrupt run back. To have dinner in a restaurant nearby, people with heart, I was out of breath, was about to stop and catch my breath, and suddenly saw the little guy look confidently walking in front of the restaurant, a heart immediately placed into the stomach. The children just turn on the drawing, the wife also looked sharp and got lost. If unexpected, we covered easily back to catch up with the team. Chase two lane, before they saw Brigade's shadow, fortunately, Zhang guide also wait in the corner. See Zhang Yu not import some face, we are not a lot of nothing, and hurried to the team.
At this very moment, we really settled down to, to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
In fact, we have walked into real foluolun Isaac of the old city. The lane is narrow, deep, the houses on both sides, smooth stone road. And walked two such alley, came to a lively, which is located in Florence City Centre, ancient city famous pezinho column square, also known as a town square.
Square upstream people, packed, perceived to be a popular tourist place.
The most notable, is a statue of follower de bronze statue of a horse, male according to the central square. According to Zhang guide explains, this is foluolun Isaac, is the most illustrious meidiqi family, known as the father of the homeland of Cauchy friction of the people all the time. At the end of the square, is one of the towers of the Fort, buildings, this is built in 1294, the wechiau Palace, also known as jiugong. This seat is currently still jiugong foluolun Isaac's Town Hall. Jiugong gates, we again see a familiar David statue, which is the second copy of glory. Michelangelo's marble original, early in the last century, had pool into the Academy of fine arts in Florence. Jiugong to the other side of the gate, a lane, is a two-face open lobby, formal name is the LAN, open gallery. Open the Gallery, with a marble and bronze production of exquisite sculpture. One of the PAL Hughes "," sea-people with gateway acrylic, Sabine plunder "," Passo Shi statue ", etc, are all on the myths and legends or historical scenes and thenNow. These sculptures, numerous dozens, it's called fabulous, beautiful. Even more remarkable is that the open gallery completely free access, free of charge. On the steps outside the Hall was full of tourists, while the rest of the crowd, but not out loud. Morphed, a 30-year-old man live plays guitar, sound smooth melody, it seems a bit cut. His guitar in front of the box, with a stack of CD, a piece of cardboard, introduces him at the international guitar competition Awards, on an additional sheet and indicate, each CD price 10 euros. I was there just to stop and listen to a few minutes, you can see there are 2, 3 young girls down euros taken away CD.
Wife some fatigue, sitting on the steps outside the Hall.
I and the little guy into the pillbox round-tour of the Town Hall. The first floor of the Hall, have some free sculpture and decoration, but darkened, took some picture, come back, is a shadow. The second floor is a lounge, access to spend 5 Euro discount. Hall inside empty, hanging on the wall a few huge paintings, is said to be some of the artist's biography of da. Most visitors are looked up in the hall door, turn down the stairs. We naturally are no exception, not to mention time already.
From wechiau Palace by time, piece of the collection team will guide and lead our walk through the old town in foluolun Isaac alley.
Walk the streets are wide, neat and orderly, antique. To tell the truth, in the maze of lanes through, it is a joy, a picturesque dream feeling.
Not long before, in an alley corner and saw a little bit bad, not too handsome 2-story house, gate hanging a piece of cloth of signs.
Zhang guide explains, this is the author of the Divine Comedy, Dante's famous writers in residence. I was young, had turned in the Divine Comedy ", but did not cause much interest. A look at our other people, it seems that the enthusiasm of this great writer. It is said that, although Dante wrote the biography of da, but his loneliness, take. Died many years before Buddha, recognition, to soul to hometown. In the former residence of the old masters, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Yu Foluolun Isaac tourism, great interest here. In his travels in Europe, Dante and Dante's all depict a lot, maybe the fretted. More than a year later, I settled down to write this small note, is the Internet to upload a bunch of revelry, was Yu was fired as master, and to finance the renovation of Cixi, Zhejiang Yu's old House, a mindful of this, it issued a little smile from the bottom.
And go for a while, a narrow alley burrowa, everyone seems to have held their breath.
A delicate, like the fantastic architecture stands before us. This is a road, Chang-oriented we have repeatedly introduced by foluolun Isaac Cathedral, more widely known is the name of the Cathedral of our Lady of flowers, is ranked fourth in the world of the Cathedral.
The Cathedral of subject is white marble veneer, posted by a light green marble into a decorative pattern, overlying to red Dome, people seem to feel that the whole Church in a stately and elegant in a charming approvingly.
Church of the designers of Bururi de igneski, was acclaimed architects of genius, this church is also considered and classical art of the perfect combination of science, it's no wonder that even the design of the Vatican, St. Peter's Cathedral of Michelangelo and sigh.
One side of the Church, a beautiful square bell tower in the limelight.
This is what I have already familiar Picciotto Bell Tower. The Bell Tower is divided into five levels, from the outside, a layer with a beautiful decorative patterns, the second tier ring with small niches, each niche with a neutral exquisite statues, three layers above the arch opening a slender Bell Tower, the entire window of the Color structure, and next to the Cathedral of organically integrated into one. Entire bodies of white marble veneer, in the West of the sun shine, the more solemn divine.
Zhang guide announce team disbanded, one hour of free activities.
My wife still feel physically, ready to cool down the rest, our little guy is urgently needed for climbing a climb high Bell Tower. According to Zhang guide said, seen the Vatican's St. Peter's Cathedral, other churches can not see the truth, I and the children came to the Tower's entrance. I heart problems, look at the top of the clock tower is a bit of a daunting task. Therefore and the little guys, let him go, I'm following him. Kid's fearless, alone with 6 euros to buy tickets. Who sell tickets have no tickets, but gabble said a few words of English, I'm not the boy and she got on the words, and then tell me, where children to adults, children don't ticket led. See children and Italy of foreigner, let me very happy to know that my kid is only 6 grade primary school. Things like this, I had to bite the bullet, and begin with the little guy.
The Bell Tower high Picciotto, 1334 85 metres by the year is known as the father of modern painting of the great painter Picciotto design and begin construction until 1359 years before by Andrea · Pisano · River, Alberto Arnoldi, designers, according to the deceased Picciotto of design drawings.
Along the spiral staircase climbing up, rest 4, 5, before climbing up 414 step, came to the top floor. I was out of breath, sweating like rain, little guy is still alive and kicking, rows to process.
Attic space is not large, open Windows on all four sides, the centre symbolises the ground there is a high copper Bell, somehow without hanging up.
Go to the window to the outside, not by a praise, deeply this row. Today's weather is very nice, blue sky and white clouds, visibility is excellent. The rivers, the red roof of the ancient city, the municipal square bell tower, shiny Arnold River are clearly visible. Tower side Windows are facing the Church dome. From here, a huge red Dome, a magnificent Tower, elegant marbles and Roman pillar in the Middle, has a slender arches, cone-shaped top is a gold-plated spheres, above, there is a gold-plated cross. Ball and the cross are the Sun gleamed. The tower is a circular platform below, the platform conceptLight of the number of visitors has a reflection can be.
Come down from the Tower, there are still a little time, we go to the front of the Church, not open horizons by feel.
Tall triangle roof, is a huge round recessed hole, wrapping in pink marble ring and compact decoration, doughnut is a marble relief of flowers. Ring up and down the line of niche, which is vivid Biblical character statue. In the following bronze doors on both sides and column, or across a variety of character sculpture and complex fine carvings. This world ranking fourth in the Notre Dame Cathedral, real flowers is not famous. And the Vatican's St. Peter's Cathedral, perhaps in the majestic and imposing poorrelation on, but in the exquisite beauty which has been. We want to go in and take a look at, but just after the closing time, the door closed, really make people miserable. Think about it, the Bell Tower in Picciotto, so close to enjoy the Cathedral Dome, it can be considered a rare experience to compensations. As a small bridge, we start from the front door, around the Church turn in a circle. In fact, the municipal square is open to visit places, no time limit, the tour route should start from the Cathedral, the town square, you will not give tourists stay this lifetime of regret.
Team collection, along the road back, this time, we felt very hot bearing in today's weather.
Although time is 5: 00 pm local time, more than three minutes, the Sun's power no reduction. We are hot and thirsty, but with water is drinking. Fortunately, there is a roadside shops cold mineral water, a company bought 3 bottles, the price of 2 euros per bottle. I tossed a bottle, felt dry heat of a solution.
Return path, no new features.
Only in an alley corner in the shade, a bit older enough 70-year-old man in the violin. I carefully listened play level does not seem to flow into the lute as well non-gourmet. Probably, this old to get a copy at home given the loneliness of the matter.
Originally, in today's schedule, but also visit foluolun Isaac, a leather factory, import see mission of scrimp have been exhausted, and heaven hot bearing, temporary decided to cancel this schedule.
This gives you a feeling of relaxed, also make people feel kind of Zhang Guide.
Still in the parking place near the River Arno, shuttle bus to Venice — — lodging host tonight, time is local time 5: 30 pm.
This way, the car for almost 3 hours van are drowsy. Until the night deep, street there is a high wall around the ancient castle, and a little excitement to import asking this is Zhang, Zhang guide also not tell them to. Auto turn right and walk a few minutes, you'll find our accommodation Hotel tonight. The name of the hotel is next to the shop name FILANDA, she was marked with 4 stars. Everyone in the hotel's restaurant, dinner with too hastily, in succession to bed.
