Marina di Piza 29 July

We have been in Marina di Pisa for one week. The plan was to leave on Monday after Calle's return to Sweden, but because of problems with his passport we have stayed, plus that the waves and wind have been so wild that we cannot leave. We hope that the sea has calmed down by Saturday or Sunday. In the meantime we enjoy being in Tuscany!

The Arno River, which flows through Florence and Pisa reaches the sea in Marina di Pisa. Our Marina is called Boccadarno, mouth of the Arno and is situated right at the mouth. Along the mouth fishermen have small wooden huts from which they cast enormous nets into the river mouth. Very rough today and we wonder how they reach their huts.

The entrance to our Marina. The waves have calmed down a bit but the wind and waves are expected to increase again by midnight. 

This is what it looked like earlier today. 

Even Carl admits that it is a bit to rough.

The bar/ restaurant in the Marina. Very pleasant. Leslie with two Aperol Spritz. 

Last night a physiotherapist or a psychologist, we could not make out which, gave a talk about pharmacia, physiologi, terapi, multi tutti of everything was all we could understand.
