Day 1 was, in fact, Saturday night. We flew from Paris (Orly) to Pisa, me only narrowly making check-in due to a serious case of dawdling, picked up the hire car (a Fiat Panda - boxy but cute and easy to drive) after something resembling an unguided trek in the dark along a highway (it turns out there's a shuttle bus between the hire place and the airport but it wasn't well-marked...at least, not well enough for us) and headed to a hotel not far from the airport. Our thinking was that it'd be better to have as few hassles as possible so early in the trip and that, by getting to bed early, we would have an early start and hit the town before the majority of the tourists. Ha! Ever the optimists...
The hotel, one of the myhotel chain, was quite nice. Clean, tasteful interior, friendly staff, plenty of food availble (with free champers on arrival) and enough channels in Italian to keep us amused for hours.
RATING
Well, for the part of the day that was spent in Italy I have to say it was great. Nice flight, nice hire car, nice hotel.
4.5/5
