Pisa

I stopped at Pisa on my way to Rome and had two hours before my train. So I did what any reasonable skater would do and laced up my skates n blasted off.
I had a beer and a sandwich before checking out the Torre de Pisa.
Skated in the general direction until I saw droves of tourists... found a lot full of buses then followed the crowd, BAM! made it!

Pro-Designed represent!! And RDJV!
Boom! Tower... now gotta go! 

Okay...am I taking crazy pills.... do you stop in the middle of the road when driving to look at your map or do you pull over... same should go for walking, assholes! Like the damn people that stop at the bottom of an escalator to think about what way to go.. MOVE! you are not the only person on the planet. I went as fast as possible safely to get back to the train station.. I was following a bike when a damn woman stops in the middle of the walkable street, with huge available sidewalks, the bike nearly took her out then I rammed the biker.... JESUS! I know I am a tourist too but damn people are stupid! I almost gave her an ear - full but I don't like being made to feel like an ass so I kept my mouth shut and skated onward.  I miss the Netherlands where people understand moving forward... drives me nuts at home too... no need to wait for a complete stop for a pedestrian to pass, just acknowledge you have been spotted by the driver before hauling ass through an intersection... no need to wait for a complete stop for your royal highness to pass.  And suddenly stopping when a skater or biker is heading your direction... i see you, dummy! Thanks for suddenly changing our cruiding trajectory!  Yeesh! I guess i get it as a mobile person...but it seems like simple logic to me... good thing ive get great stopping skills and jammer brain.
I hauled butt, picked up my bag from storage and missed my train by 10 seconds! Paid for reservation down the toilet... so I took a longer train which did not need a reservation to Rome :/ but I made it! Now in a sweet B&B for two nights... two nights in one city is like a vacation hahaha.
