Somebody recommended Bergamo in Italy to me today, said that it was fantastic. Anyone been?

I'd recommend Lake Como it's awesome. And Bergamo is the Airport you use going there so you could always check it out while you're there I guess
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

Yeah apparently it's a hidden gem as people just use the airport to get into Milan.Chappy wrote:Only the AirportBodacious Benny wrote:Somebody recommended Bergamo in Italy to me today, said that it was fantastic. Anyone been?

Girlfriend went there a few weeks ago on business. I asked her about it and she said:
"Arid. Not as hot as Dubai. Good pizza"
So all you need to know really.

If heat is what she's after then somewhere like Libya would be perfect.

Booked a flying visit to the Loire valley in early August to go and catch up with some old friends.
The best bit is I'm going by myself with no wife or child

Off to Prague, Dresden and Berlin for a 5 day trip in August Definitely going to be stealing a few of the Prague tips from a few pages back.
Anyone know of anything particularly good in Berlin? Went a couple of years ago for 2 days and only really did the Brandenburg Gate and Holocaust memorial next to it.

Potsdam is a nice day out (one the subway). The porn museum is good too (honestly). I did one of the walking tours and it was pretty good. And went to a club under an old public swimming baths.LiDL wrote:Off to Prague, Dresden and Berlin for a 5 day trip in August Definitely going to be stealing a few of the Prague tips from a few pages back.

On the more serious side there's a political prisoner concentration camp just outside the city.

If you get a chance, go to Burgermeister, it's pretty popular but it's worth the wait. Obviously the Wall is worth walking along, Topography of Terror is a really interesting museum about the Nazis and the War, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews splits opinion but I thought it was quite haunting to be honest and the Zoo is quite nice and not overly expensive if I remember correctly.

Re: Holidays
We land in Hanoi tomorrow. Only got 1 nights accommodation in Hanoi booked then probably going to head to Ha Long Bay (maybe Cat Back Island). Not really sure after that. Probably just going to stay in the North as we aren't going to be there two long.KingoStarr wrote:Where in Vietnam I have been to Nam twice wonderful country.TJR wrote:Off to Bali tomorrow then on to Vietnam after a week

Been in Bali for a week now, it class, we've travelled around quite a bit but still haven't had nowhere near as long as we would have liked here. Wish I got more holiday time from work than I do!

Well I've just had a night in Llangollen and a night in Chester. Plenty of walking, beer and eating. Ideal.
