The Leaning Tower of Pisa:
We were glad of that and purchased a ticket for the trip to the top. There are two hundred and ninety four steps up a spiral staircase that take visitors up and which due to the absence of windows, and therefore orientation, is reminiscent of a fairground wacky house attraction, especially when although you know that you were ascending sometimes according to the extreme angle of the tilt of the building it feels as though you were going down at the same time, which, believe me, is a very weird experience.

I’m fascinated and curious of this tower, thanks for sharing! 🙂

A Bucket List item surely…

The tower was closed when I went in 2003 so unfortunately I missed out on this bizarre ascent!

A good reason to go back then perhaps?

Yep, I’ve just read your longer post. I agree with you – a lot of people are left underwhelmed by the tower but I loved it and don’t think it’s far off being a wonder of the world.
