Man alive, what a tower

I
Apparently this is the highest bell tower in Europe at 112.27m. After a very damp day it's a lovely evening and Cremona cathedral is beautiful at night. We've had a super dinner and are now enjoying gelati at the cafe on the corner of the cathedral palazzo. Like many of the places we've stayed on this trip that are off the beaten track, Cremona has been a very pleasant surprise and well worth a visit. The centre is free of traffic, most people move around on bikes (of which we clearly approve), there are lots of squares with cafes and everyone is very friendly. Finally, and probably most importantly, Cremona is the home of Stradivarius and you can barely move for statues of the fellow. (There are two - S.)
