Except for a short spell of gloomy sky, we started the ride at 10.40am on SP21 road along the sea, no mountains,no rolling hills,absolutely flaaaaat! all the way 50 km to Pisa, world famous for its Leaning Tower.We saw many camping signs along the marina, but its too early to end the day. We really enjoy our ride today as the sun really shines after several days of miserable rain.The camping we are looking for is near the Leaning Tower called Torre Pendente Camping Village. We bought our necessary foods at the Pam supermarket just before the entrance to the campsite. This is by far the biggest camping that we came across, otherwise it won't be calling a "village", equipped with a swimming pool and a "bungalow " we rented for 53 euro and that comes out to 17.7 euro per person, slightly more expensive than we had stay before for 16 euro. Later 3 Indonesian students joins us as neighbour, they are studying in Germany and on their summer holiday here backpacking.
