After three days in Dresden, Louis and I were on the road again. Direction: Trento.
We left Dresden around 9:00 and arrived in Trento around 20:00, having transferred trains in Nürnberg and München, where Philippe joined us.
Of course, Louis immortalized this eleven hour trip in video.
Memories came flooding back as the train approached Trento, as I giddily pointed out familiar sites, restaurants and café... and the epicentre of many wonderful and stupid adventures.
We spent the Friday evening in the city centre, grabbing an aperitivo before going out for supper. The Italian scene was a complete change to Germany for Philippe and Louis, whereas I felt as if I was coming back home.
The Saturday was dedicated to visiting Trento's main sites and relaxing in Piazza Duomo, meeting up with Marco and some ESN students. Sunday morning, we went to Bolzano for a day trip, where I introduced my two companions to the multilingual city. We spent the morning up in Oberbozen (for those that have followed this blog over the past few years, you will recognize the cable-car) and the afternoon in Bolzano, before heading back to Trento.
We spent a lovely evening in Trento, where we were met by Giuseppe and Mindaugus for supper and drinks (many, many drinks), while Louis retired early in the evening - it was reassuring for me to see that I wasn't the only one prone to illness!
We left Trento on monday morning, after grabbing a last cappucino in Piazza Duomo, to spend a few days in Munich.
As you can very well understand, I took very few pictures of our time in Trento and Bolzano-Bozen! But Louis was there, as always, with the video camera.

Second day, spent in Bolzano-Bozen
We left Trento on the monday morning, as I left my memories behind, happy to have returned to Trento even for such a short period of time. Philippe continued his treck back to Konstanz as I introduced Louis to the joys of Munich and the surrounding area.
Next update: München, Dachau & Salzburg
