Day 1: 29 June 2015 - Cambridge to Bergamo

 Flew to Bergamo today! Here is my bike box and my legroom (not to scale).















I was lucky enough to be greeted by Marina's mum, Ljiljana who negotiated a maxi taxi for me to get my bici back to casa rabisz.


Went on a tour of the lower town with Bruno...

...then a tour of the upper town (the old fortified city) with Marina's brother Dejan and Lilijana.





 Bergamo is simply stunning - Venetian money put to good use decorating the upper town :)

I liked it so much I stayed the night - such wonderful, generous hospitality! Though I think my gracious hosts grew tired of hearing me say 'thank you' ;) But seriously it made the beginning of my journey so much easier. Plus now I've seen Bergamo (just enough to want to go back and to recommend it!).

Off to bed to catch the train to Lecco..
