PHOTOS: Hiking the Bergamo Alps, Italy

Flew into Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, at the beginning (or end?) of the Alps. Walked out of the airport and up into the mountains. Such a recommendable way to begin a trip.

It turned out to be the most wonderful 6-day hike accompanied by my very best friend: mr. Præsius!

Enjoy the pictures

Suddenly we came to Lecco at the Lake Como. We jumped on a boat to Bellagio, as I've only heard of this name from the giant hotel in Las Vegas, USA
