We had to climb a big hill to get out of the city but otherwise just rolling hills for the ride today. Once again our GPS’s were not agreeing and we ended up taking different routes but all made it in the end. It’s becoming a funny thing as Rob and Katharine seem to get there ahead of us somehow even though we tend to be faster. We must be taking a more scenic route I guess. Bergamo is also a reasonable sized city so getting in takes some navigating around in heavy traffic. But the drivers here are usually good; aware and tolerant of cyclists. The biggest part of the city lies below an ancient city that is perched up on a hill. You can drive up there or take yet another funicular, which we did. But before we did that we parked our bikes at the B&B and left on foot to go meet Lyndsay, our youngest daughter, who was meeting us on her way to Geneva from Marakesh in Morocco. After a bit of looking we found her for a happy reunion. We then took the funicular up to the old city to have a look around and find some supper. Lyndsay’s boyfriend Jon “secretly” arrived from Marseille to meet us as well. Here are some of the sites:
