Pisa!

As soon as the sign for Pisa told us we were entering the city limits, we all stuck our heads up against the glass in search of the tower. It was in vain, as we could only see the very tip when we had parked due to the high wall. Our breath was taken away as we rounded the corner by foot and the tower almost fell on us.
We all had the urge to try and catch it and the angle it was leaning at was bigger than we expected. Before, we weren't so adamant about climbing up to the top, but as soon as we saw it we decided it was a must do. 
While waiting for the two hours until our time to climb we posed for the corny pictures of us trying to hold the tower up or pushing it down.
When the time came we climbed the 293 slanted slippery steps up to the top of the belfry. It made us dizzy and dad sick as we turned around and around up to the top of the 55 metres. It was very disorienting standing at the highest part and being slightly tilted. 
Bucket list item: accomplished!
