As silly as it sounds, I did not expect the tower to actually lean. It looks really wonky!! I always imagined it was always some how exaggerated in pictures. But, there you go. We weren't very good tourists - we didn't actually go up the tower, in the cathedral or visit any museums/galleries. We just enjoyed the sunny Spring days and wandered around, accompanied by the occasional gelato. The streets were beautiful, wide and spacious surrounded by tall buildings, it felt a bit frozen in time really.
This beautiful square is home to one of the oldest universities in Italy, we were reliably informed that some pretty great parties also take place there!
There were of course Roman baths...
Beautiful views along the river...
And cobbled streets... all very Italian!
And we returned to England to discover that the sun had followed us home! I hope those of you in Blighty have been enjoying the bursts of Spring...
