Bergamo to Milan, Circuit Complete

24 Jun

Our last day of the route!  It seems we had just started and already it was done.  Today’s ride was getting out of Bergamo and negotiating traffic again for the first hour but then we followed a canal path all the way into Milan.  Thus a very quiet and easy ride with many great sites to stop and enjoy.  At one point an older gentleman on a bike took us on a small tour of his town including some old frescoes.  We couldn’t communicate well but enjoyed the sites nonetheless.  Getting into Milan was easier coming from the north and being on the canal, only the last little bit was in heavy traffic.

Once again we met our daughter and her boyfriend there, they had taken a quick train ride from Bergamo.  We enjoyed another look around Milan and our last gelato before taking the bikes apart and packing up for the long journey back home tomorrow.  Another successful tour in Italy with our tandem cycling amici!

Arrivederci until next year.
