Bergamo - Saturday 31/10 2015
There are so many churches in Italy
Looking towards Città Alta
Funicolare (train that takes you straight up to Città Alta from Città Bassa)
Beautiful architecture in Città Alta and the typical Italian flowerpots on the balconies
A fountain, please notice the owl : )
Guess what my first thought was as I read Mandragora..?
Clock towers are also very popular here
More beautiful architecture
Norrow streets are so very beautiful
Ice cream, strawberry and lemon
Me and a little bit of view behind me
Mom with the same view but mostly bushes behind her
Here is the view without either of us
Another beautiful view! Bergamo is very, very beautiful!
The view over the city
This leaf was just laying there and I felt inspired so here is the result..
A whole in the stone wall with again the view of the city
A stone wall of one of the narrow streets
A pastry shop's window, how can one not get hungry..?
I mean look at these..
So I ordered (in Italian) two chocolate croissants and they were amazing!!
På lördagen åkte vi till Bergamo (ungefär 50 minuter tar tågresan från Milano till Bergamo) för att få se den här underbart vackra staden! När vi anlände med tåget och kom ut från stationen hamnade vi direkt på huvudgatan som hade en massa affärer och restauranger efter hela vägen tills vi kom fram till kyrkan på första bilden. Därefter fick vi gå en liten stund till innan vi kom fram till det lilla tåget (funicolare) som tog oss upp till Città Alta. Väl där uppe gick vi runt på de små gatorna, gick in i olika små butiker, vi köpte jättegod glass och fick se en helt fantastisk vy!
Hela den här dagen handlade om att gå runt och verkligen uppleva Bergamos fantastiska arkitektur, vyerna och olika små lokala affärer. Dessutom fick vi ju äta varsin choklad croissant som verkligen var helt fantastisk!

On Satruday we set off with the train towards Bergamo (the train takes about 50 minutes from Milan to Bergamo) to see this beautiful city! As we arrived and came out of the station we came directly upon the main street with a lot of stores and restaurants all the way to the church that you can see on the first picture. After we reached the church we had to walk a little bit longer until we reached the little train (funicolare) that would take us up to Città Alta. Once there we walked around on the small streets, went into small shops, bought really good ice cream and we got to see this amazing view!
The whole day was about walking around and explore Bergamos fantastic architecture, the views and the different small lokal shops. We also got to enjoy a chocolate croissant each which of course was amazing!
