Passage-V
Pisa offers a quiet holiday. Apart from the Leaning Tower sequence where the tourists flock, the
city is free of the king of crowds one sees at Florence. An eleven km bus ride brings us to Marina
de Pisa, the coastal extension of the city, where the Ligurian Sea and quaint buildings provide a
few hours of relaxed walks. However, there isnt much of a beach.
Gone is the tension of the previous night, when, flying into Italy in the late hours, my wife and I
were a little apprehensive. Compared to Germany where we had spent three weeks, in Italy, night
bus from the airport terminated at the railway station, instead of going all the way to our hotel.
Ten Euros, said the cab driver at the station when asked how much the ride to the hotel would
cost. Quite sure he was overcharging, we got in nevertheless. At 10.30 pm., we anyway had little
choice. The streets were dimly lit and the driver was uncommunicative. Stopping at a desolate
building after we had clearly gone out of the city limits, he announced: Your hotel. I gave him
a 10-Euro bill and turned away. But the cabman stopped me. Your change, sir, he said, pointing
to the meter which read 8.20 Euros.
The small change I got back that day was like receiving the certificate of a nations honesty. Italy,

principles and according to a regular plan. Its broad streets are intersected at right angles. Jai
Singh was above everything a great astronomer. He erected observatories with accurate and
advanced instruments. Some to and advanced instruments. Some to them of his own invention,
