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.

Milano Centrale – finally some monumental thing

The next day we headed to Milano. We spent some time there, being in some museums, and then
we headed to Bergamo from where our plane took off back to Prague.

Padova

A fountain in the middle of a huge square in Padova

After we left Venezia, we went to Padova which is just 30km on the west. When we came to the city
centre, it was freaking hot. We couldn’t even walk. We had a great lunch with Kamča and Enrico
(Maruš was on the diet (-;). I think I like Italy a lot because of they know how to cook, and what
to cook (unlike we). I have never had there any foot which was not tasty.

We were picking wines just because of the label. When we liked it, we bought it. Actually, this turned out not to be a good strategy at all )-;
