I just got back from Pisa (from my cousins wedding) and it’s a lovely place to visit. From my point of view its peaceful with lots of old buildings which gives it a character. The buildings are old school, devoid of modern architecture, lots of people speaking Italiano and drinking coffee by the road side. They seem loud like Nigerians when they converse.
The building’s are quite colourful, i love the little balconies, the narrow roads and lots on mini/little cars
The only problem with this trip was it was so hot. Oh my God! it was so hot i was unhappy. It was above 30 degrees. To top that, i had sore throat and ear pain. I don’t know where it came from but it made my life miserable.
So we decided to visit the hospital because Lozengez were not working and we ran into another problem – communication.
A few cant speak English and my Italiano is epileptic. We went to different hospitals and they kept directing us to another till we got to the right one. It was an A & E, lol!
I said okay as long as i get some prescription, that’s fine. My God! The sight of people been rushed was horrific. It took me 7 hours before i saw a doctor and by then i was drained, but i was glad.
I had camera being put down my throat, ear and nose. I kept saying to myself ‘mate its just sore throat. Just prescribe an antibiotics and i’m out of here’.
I got my prescription, we left the hospital and we couldn’t get a taxi because we dint have a taxi service number and where we were was really out of town. So we decided to walk. It was a fifty minutes journey. I said to myself, i’m already in pain so walking 50 mins is not a problem.
Suddenly we saw a pharmacy, we went in with my prescription, we asked them if they can help call us a cab. They did and viola! we got a taxi to back to the hotel and the first thing i had was ice cream.
The wedding was the next day. It was beautiful and colourful. Lots of happy people and lots of food. My cousin looked amazing and happy. I was so happy for her.
We were able to see the leaning tower of Pisa, such an amazing work of art
The leaning tower has been leaning for 800 years. Many people assume that the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans because of age. However, the tower actually began to lean as early as 1178—when only three stories had been built.
Well i’m back in England better and cracking chicken bones lol. What i’ve leant on this trip is don’t get sick in another mans country because if you do, you’ll be stressed and sorry.
Travel with essentials like aspirin, pain killers etc.
Well, i hope you’ve enjoyed my blog today.
Till next time,
Bose.
