Beautiful Brescia

More of the world of Brescia, the Lombardy town of fabulousness. Just scroll and enjoy it. There aren't too many words needed to talk about how pretty and nice it is there.

A stereotypical Italian Street scene.




It's Italy, there'll be plenty of churchy things to see.

Cloistered.




I'd love a pair of legs like these, they'd get me round the race track quicker, surely.
Or maybe some bubbles, Franciacorta is a very small region, just next to lake Iseo, that produces some amazing sparkling wines.

Valcamonica, UNESCO Rock Art

Off on the train from Iseo to see the famous Rock Art in Valcamonica. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't that excited by it. The temperature was above 30C and Rock "Art" isn't really number one on my list of coolest places in the world, but I was surprised how cool it was.

The Concarena pops up to say "hi", or is it "high"?.










It is Rudolph and friends, I swear.



hey donkey.

A fort apparently. I thought it was an onion.



The most famous carving, of the running priest. Appropriate for a runner.

Feel free to tell me what that cloud looks like to you.....

Probably one of the most picturesque of all cemeteries I have been to.



The river Oglio

A pretty little place.
