Yesterday was Jim’s birthday so we celebrated with lunch at Marina di Pisa, a popular beach and marina area for nearby Pisa.
The place was pretty much deserted…we were the only ones at the restaurant and the streets and beach were virtually empty – summer season has definitely finished.
From there it was off to Pisa airport to collect Zora (our niece) and Will who are staying with us for a couple of days – they are on their honeymoon. They got married in Perth on the 5th October and after a couple of weeks at home have now been to London and Paris. Here they are on their wedding day.
We had a quick look around Pisa with them before returning home for pre-dinner drinks and then walking up to Del Sonno for dinner.
We are off exploring again today and are looking forward to showing Zora & Will around this lovely area.

Happy birthday Jim. I didn’t realize your birthday was on the same day as mine, does that make us the same age? I wish. Your only a baby. You always look like your having a ball, you won’t want to come home.

Happy belated birthday wishes, Jim! And yes, at this time of the year, our coastal area is pretty deserted, except on weekends and providing the weather is fair. Quite a contrast when you compare this to the summer months. Congratulations and best wishes to the young, handsome couple. And I really love Zora’s wedding dress. Very “chic”.
