Day 45 - Climbing St. Stephansdom

Picked up this nasty habit of climbing things so today was the main cathedral in Vienna. Wasn´t really a climb but an elevator upwards. Today was cold to begin with but up there, the breeze ripped through you. Once you get out of the elevator, you are on this dodgy catwalk with the wind blowing you around (not good with heights so this wasn´t fantastic).

The view naturally was brilliant and first chance I´ve had to get a really good look at the skyline. I was a little surprised to see some high rise and other sorts of towers. Then I was looking at the pitch of the cathedral roof, which probably would have been around 60 degrees and thinking about the poor bugger who would have had to put the tiles on the roof - no way you´d catch me doing that. Couldn´t stay up there too long as it was far too cold.
