Pisa 'n' Lucca

On Saturday 5th February, it was time for the first daytrip of the year. 99 students and two AIFS staff took two private coaches to Pisa and Lucca.

The weather was glorious, considering it was the first week of February. After a week of orientations, classes, assignments, readings, walking tours, it was nice to get out of the city and see what else Tuscany has to offer.


No matter what anybody says, the only way to explore Lucca is to rent a bike. (3 €uro per hour). A few students did, despite many "not ridden for years".


Lunch, Lucca style in the old Amphitheatre.


Then onto Pisa, and the world famous Campo dei Miracoli.


Our visit included a professional guided tour. One of the guides, Giovanni explains to the students about the Byzantine influence in the Duomo.
