The rest of the Bergamo trip

Camerata Cornello which was the main trade route

To visit Camerata Cornello, you have to walk up there, a few hundred metres. As a result, it has no cars. It is very well preserved, surrounded by mountains and just beautiful. One of the families started the postal system in Europe.

Cool cat at Camerata Cornello

Biking along the canal from Imbersago

We hired bikes at Imbersago. Rolling along the canal was super awesome. Another great thing to do around the area.

On the Traghetto di Leonardo, designed by Da Vinci at Imbersago

The Traghetto di Leonardo is thought to have been designed by Da Vinci. It can still take a car and foot traffic over the river. Nice!

The Monte Isola in Lake Iseo

Lake Iseo has the biggest island in a lake in Europe. It's still not very big. The villages are picturesque. The scooters v. handy to keep the boys going.

Crespi D'Adda

Crespi D'Adda is a socialist village made by some textile fabric makers for the workers. Everyone still lives in the model homes on green blocks. Sadly the factory closed in 2003. Everyone who lives there now are descended from the textile workers. It's always sad to see textiles no longer made in Italy, as they were the best.

With the gang in Sulbiate

Finally we dropped in on Marie's cousin on the way home for the last time. It was an amazing chance to meet them. After spending several days with them over the last 3 years, I think we know them a lot better. Danilo suggested I learn Croatian one time. Marie thought it wasn't a good idea. But then I'll never learn anything.

The fam, Sulbiate. Danilo, Jelena, us, Mani, Josipa.

So that wraps up our last holiday trip in the place. Shame it was so great as we will really miss this place and the people.
