Grabštejn – a village without church, but with a factory and a nice castle

One nice day I went with Kamča to a small afternoon trip to a castle Grabštejn near Liberec.

A small square in the middle of Bergamo old city

The last afternoon we rushed from Milan to Bergamo where we were supposed to take the airplane back to Prague.
I was pleasantly surprise how nice Bergamo was. It is a beautiful small city without much mess and tourists,
nicely cleaned, and nicely taken care of.
