Today (13/06) we walked up to the Cesare Batiste Monument which is across the river and up in the hills. It involved many steps but was a very nice walk in overcast and humid environment. What became obvious is that the beautiful architecture (14-18th Century) continued across the river.
Brianna had her watch measure the distance which calculated 2.7 km. Damn thing must be broken, at least I'm a bit broken after all the stairs and elevation! There were so many stairs! Here is the chronoloical sequence of staircases *play some funky car chase music now*(please note, all captions reference Dune, the movie, as getting to some very close spaces required the folding of time and very often, steps, much like a movie that went on too long).
A beginning, is a very delicate time... |
Know then that it is the year 10,191 |
The Known Universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV |
OMG thank hell those time shifting worms were here |
Beautifully, at the end of the steps were a few things to see. The most important of which was the memorial for the national hero (Austro-Hungarian turncoat) Cesare Battiste.
All views are grand in Trento, hard to give justice with the phone camera |
My interpretation is an old Church, judging the outlay. |
WWI? Certainly, nationalistically had significance over WWII |

We then decided to take the cable car to the top of the hill, but after so much walking I decided to have a quick beer first as it is 7pm in Australia.
The view from the cable car was pretty impressive
For lunch we are visitng a place called Malgo Brigalina over Monte Bondore. This is going to be pretty special I've been told, so really looking forward to it!
We will be visiting a small "Artiginale" brewery this afternoon after lunch, in the Trento suburb of Vezzano.
[edit] we visited said Brewery, but as a result, I should say more on it later.
Cin Cin!
(Cheers)
Mate, if there was ever a reason to order a 'traveller'.....
