When did this actually happen? Sunday, February 21, 2016

Up, up, up we go to the last castle!

I really think this looks like a very sinister, Dracula castle..

It's that mountain again: now from our highest viewpoint!

The castle was really pretty as well, especially in the light of a setting Sun. However, it was a bit unfortunate that we couldn't get in the castle (grounds) like with the other two, because this castle was closed until somewhere in March :(

Behind the castle, there were nice rocks :)

I really love the light and composition in this picture. This might be due to the fact that I love the colour blue and really like it combined with nature (grass..). Also, there is again a very nice castle wall. You can never have enough pictures of castle walls!

Same old mountain again in the beautiful sunset light with a nicely accentuated church.

On our way back to the train, we saw our first castle Castelgrande for the last time, beautifully illuminated. I thoroughly recommend a visit to Bellinzona: it has very nice scenery and culture (the castles), and as it is the Italian part of Switzerland, they have great (Italian) food as well. I had the best tagliatelle bolognese ever for dinner. It is however more expensive than regular Italy (it is Switzerland after all), and they speak little to no English or German (in this sense they are more like the real Italians.. :p )
