The View from the Town Hall Tower

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 (Part 2):

We began our morning this day with a wonderful breakfast in our hotel. We then walked out of our front door of the hotel and about 20 paces to the Town Hall across the street. We purchased tickets and then started the climb to the top. Instead of steps, this tower has a series of ramps -- which is much easier on the legs. Towards the very top, we climbed a small spiral staircase and emerged into a square room, about 20 feet square. From there, we passed through a doorway to the outside gallery which runs along all four sides of the top of the tower.


This day was a really beautiful day, with clear blue skies and a nice warm sun, and the view from the tower was fantastic. Needless to say, we took a lot of pictures. And we met two college girls from Australia and took turns taking photos of each other. We walked the entire circumference of the tower and took in every conceivable angle.

This was a great way to start our day.
