Trip to Switzerland, part 8: Bellinzona, the town

We followed some winding stone stairs down from the castle, past mysterious doorways

rooftops

and followed a narrow street that led to 

Bellinzona's beautiful central piazza

Where a cafe was waiting just for us

with red-checkered tablecloths

and most importantly, gelato.

The cool thing about Bellinzona is you can see the castle from everywhere

peeking out from behind all the modern things

See it? (Click on the picture to make it bigger.)

Our cafe was across from a church

with a beautiful fountain

and other lovely details

like this window.

Back at the cafe, Uncle Ben was having fun with Zev.

Ciao, bambino!
