I’ve done 10 of these. I am amazed you could come up with 50, it would take me a week.
You can’t go up the leaning tower of Pisa anymore. Not safe, leaning too far over now. Well you couldn’t last time I was there. I suppose it is possible the clever engineers might have come up with some kind of solution.
