    The oldest Botanical Garden in Europe. (Chelsea Physic Garden is modelled on it).
    Actually not a lot of people know about it!! Even the Pisans themselves - in spite of the fact that you actually have to go past it to get to the better-known tourist attractions!
    Some of the trees are really ancient, and have huge overhanging leaves and branches - lovely in the summer, when you can sit in the shade!

    Looks fascinating, Leonora - if I ever go to Pisa, I'll keep an eye open for it! And I love your signature.....

    I'm one up on you Rich - knew all that Latin I did at school would come in handy one day....
