On day 9, we left our hotel in Pisa around 9am to go to the Pisa Cathedral complex to see none other than the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. It’s a pretty remarkable view! We had about an hour and a half to hang out in case people wanted to climb to the top of the tower, so we took that time to – yes, you guessed it – take ridiculous photos.

As is to be expected when visiting the French Riviera, Nice (pronounced like “niece”) was well, really nice. One week into our tour we were thrilled to have a completely guided activity-free day to catch up on sleep, do laundry, and explore on our own.

We left Aivgnon around 9am and two hours later, we arrived in a gorgeous little town settled in Provence -- Aix-en-Provence -- known as “The City of 1,000 Hot Springs.” After our tour guide Angie showed us the meeting point, she took us to the center of town.

With a 10AM start on day five we were in good shape to hit the road, albeit less than thrilled for a six-hour drive. As our Contiki tour guide Angie so eloquently put it though, we had the option of “walking, jogging or taking the bus.” We chose the bus.
