After a 6:15 wakeup call, we departed the hotel at 7:30 and headed to Pisa and Florence. On the way, we stopped at an Autogrill for lunch. Autogrills are found throughout Italy (we stopped at them multiple times for lunch or restroom breaks) and consist of a cafeteria style restaurant, sandwich/expresso counter, and grocery/wine store. When ordering from the counter, you pay for your sandwich first (and had better be able to pronounce it properly), then take the receipt and pass it over the counter to get your sandwich (which they'll heat, if you want).
At around 1:20pm, we arrived in Pisa to see the Leaning Tower, Duomo, and Baptistry at the Field of Miracles (Campo dei Miracoli). At 3:30, we left and continued on to Florence where we checked in to the Grand Hotel Mediterraneo.
