Our apartment is fantastic. It's the second level of this place ... The very friendly and helpful owners live on levels 3 and 4.
As soon as we had settled into the apartment, we set out for the Lion Monument. This is a memorial for the Swiss Guards who lost their lives during the French Revolution. It was carved into the rock in 1820-21.
And here we are on the third day. Sadly, a little damp (after much beautiful weather).
The bridge has a number of paintings dating back to the 17th century.
We've had some beautiful weather ...
... but we know it must get cold because you have to put a jumper on the statues!!!
One of the many squares in the Old Town area. They love to paint scenes depicting parts of their history on the outside walls.

We had lots of very steep wooden steps to climb inside the towers ... just so you could see the views from the top!
Spot Katrina if you can!
More wonderful views from the top ...
Here, you can see part of the wall we walked along. The photo was taken from one of the towers along the way. It was all part of the 'Old Town' defences.
