Det kan føles som om man snakker uendeligt meget i mobiltelefonen, og der findes en række applikationer til Android, der kan hjælpe med at fortælle hvor meget, som man egenligt snakker, og med hvem. Phonalyzr kan vise simpel statistik over samtaler og SMS’er. Ponalyzr har forskellige statistikker - hvor mange opkald (indgående, udgående, mistede opkald og besvarede) man har modtaget, hvor mange minutter man har snakket i (når der bliver ringet til en samt de opkald man laver). Endeligt kan det også flette oplysningerne sammen med telefonbogen, så du kan se hvem du snakker med mest - og ikke mindst hvor meget og hvornår på døgnet.

As part of our trip to Pisa, we to a day trip to Florence. Florence was once the capital of Italy (before Rome), and is a beautiful historic town with plenty of interesting things to see. The train ride from from Pisa was slightly more than an hour, and most of the time was spend just walking around from sight to sight. Once the feet was tired, we took a hop-on, hop-off bus, which brought us to the Piazza Micheangelo - where you’ll find probably the most beautiful sight of the town.

Budget airlines is a wonderful way to have short holidays or extended weekends somewhere interesting. The carrier Norwegian has flights from Copenhagen to Pisa and we went to explore Pisa a few days saying at the Grand Hotel Bonanno.

Getting around

  • Getting to town…
    • If you fly into Pisa Airport taking the train to Pisa Centrale is cheap and easy. It takes less than 15 minutes.
    • The Pisa Centrale train station is in the middle of town, and walking distance to most hotels.
  • Exploring the city
    • Walking around in town is easy and the distances are fairly short between interesting sights.
    • Many hotels offers bikes, and while the pavement is bumpy it shouldn’t be a problem.
    • Skip driving in town - the streest are narrow, there are many one-way streets and finding your way can be a challenge.

What to see

  • The leaning tower is the most famous sight in Pisa, but far from the only interesting sight.
  • The historic center of the city contains many churches and other sights.
  • The city is filled with small (local) restaurants hidden away in the many narrow streets.
  • There’s a big University in town - and a large hospital.
  • The Arno river runs across the town.
  • There’s a large train station with connections to Roma, Florence and other major Italian cities.

Vi var på en forårstur til Jordan og Israel med Star Tour (en del af Kuoni). Jordan turen startede i Aqaba i Syd og var et smut omkring hovedstaden, Amman i Nord. Turen bød på mange spændende oplevelser blandt andet mødet med Petra, som blev kendt fra filmen Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Efter en uges oplevelser i Jordan krydsede vi grænsen til Israel.
