Top of the tower!

The Church of our Saviour has amongst other things a gilded spire in the form of a spiral with an external stair that goes right to the golden sphere on the top. This was way too tempting to miss.

The first set of wooden stairs takes you past the clock mechanism and up through the bell tower. A final timber ladder takes you to a door just wide enough to squeeze through and out on to the bottom of the spiral stair.

So now the fun starts climbing the spiral stair outside in the wind which was pretty gusty. I made it too the top with very shaky legs. The view was great and photos will be on fb. In the meantime, photos of the expedition.

It's a long way down.
