Joe Lindsay and Angela Scanlon report from Tuscany in northern Italy. They take a tour of the city of Florence, famous for its art, history and culture. They also journey by bike through the Tuscan hills, visit one of Chianti's vineyards, see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, explore Lucca, birthplace of the composer Puccini, and try their hand at what else but pasta-making! Joe also takes a short getaway to Kilkenny, where he calls into the Castlecomer Discovery Park, has a bumpy ride trying a new sport, bubble soccer, and fine-tunes his skills on the bodhran.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

The Leaning Tower of Pisa
It may undeniably be a tourist trap and for those wanting a quiet time it may not be ideal, but if you are close by then visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a must. The tower's unintentional tilt marks it as one of the most easily recognised building in the world.
