Bergamo

Well, we have finally decided to go south and visit Italy proper! On Saturday, Ina and I headed over to Bergamo, a small hillside city north-east from Milan.

It was quite a foggy day, but the city was gorgeous nevertheless. Here are a few pictures for you enjoyment!

Meran(o)

Une autre aventure au nord de Trento - il semble que j'ai passé le dernier mois à visiter la région d'Alto Adige - Südtyrol! Ina et moi sommes partis pour Meran/Merano, une petite ville au nord-ouest de Bolzano au milieux des Dolomites et où on retrouve... des palmiers!

Voici quelques photos de notre voyage!















En ce moment, je suis occupé à préparer mon départ pour la Géorgie et la Turquie. Je planifie être à Tbilisi du 19 au 24 novembre, profitant de l'occasion pour explorer les villes avoisinantes et faire quelques entrevues. Par la suite, je rejoins mon père à Istanbul pour une dizaine de jour en Turquie!

Prochain petit voyage avant mon départ : Verona (et oui, je vais descendre au sud de Trento!)

Ritten und Rittner Horn

Following our initial reconnaissance of Oberbozen, Ina and I returned to the area last Saturday (Oct. 30) to explore the mountain a bit more.

We headed out of Trento at 7:00, getting to see the sun-rise through the mountains before getting to Bozen, from where we got to Oberbozen by cable car. From the moment we arrived in Oberbozen, there was snow everywhere - to Ina's delight. From there we set out for Klobenstein by tram before hiking out to the Earth Pyramids. After this, we made our way up the mountain by bus and gondola.

The view from the top of the Rittner Horn was quite astonishing - nothing like spending a nice Saturday in the middle of the mountains!

Of course, I had not recharged my cameras so most of the pictures come from Ina's camera - enjoy!
