... the cathedral is well worth the visit. In our case, we managed to get there early afternoon—just in time for lunch. Lunch took far longer than it should have—I have no explanation for why that was, but since it was a very cold day we were happy to be inside where it was warm and where a glass of red wine was hitting the spot.
