A few of the places I’ve taken my teacup may have not been recognisable to some of you.

But this one will be. After all, how can you not recognise the greatest architectural stuff-ups of all time?

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks, for all the wrong reasons. It’s also the only reason we visited Pisa, which is true for most of visitors to the city. My Secret Garden teacup had to come here too!

I thought I’d get some weird looks while taking this picture, but the crowd was distracted by the whistle-blowing guard that kicked the people off the grass section in front.

  1. Hey Megan I love your picture and am impressed at the distance the little teacup has travelled! I remember going to the visit the leaning tower and the guy with the whistle!!

      It’s certainly clocked up some miles Kathy. I didn’t take it out in Florence, but think it should have a gondola ride in Venice.
