Flight to Pisa, sort of

Landing in Italy
Originally uploaded by dizarillo

So we all got up at 5am for our flight out of London to Pisa, on the cheap commuter airline Ryanair, which apparently makes most of it's money selling cheap phone cards and expensive soda mid flight. It was a comfortable flight with great views of the alps and we would be coming in early to Pisa for a landing. However, we soon were told that due to what the brit-pilot called "a strong mist" (in hindsight a bit of an understatement) we had to land in Genova, a town over 100 miles north up the coast from Pisa. We got on the complimentary bus and what could have been a long arduous bus ride, considering the sour mood I was now in, actually turned out to be an amazing drive down the coast, I ended up taking over 70 photos, while the reality started to sink in that I was probably going to have an incredible week living in the Tuscan countryside...
