Taking the train to Charleroi Sud

Caught sleeping again!

We took the bus to the airport from Charleroi Sud train station to catch our flight to Bergamo in Italy.

Ryanair flight

It was dark upon reaching Bergamo airport and we took the bus that takes us to the bus station in Bergamo.

Taking the local bus in Bergamo

We then made our way to our hostel on foot and it was like walking in a rather undeveloped country. Some of the roads that we took had no pavements and we had to walk by the side of the roads. Luckily, there were 8 of us which is quite a lot or i will be feeling a little vulnerable.

Passing by old and rundown buildings with graffiti strewn walls

We reached our nice hostel safely!

We then proceeded downstairs to a nearby restaurant for our late dinner. We were all quite hungry and we ordered a pizza each.

First taste of authentic Italian pizza, it's not as fluffy (not much bread) and not as filling but the taste is slightly better

Dinner at last!
