Belluno
 |
| Town something or other |
First impression weren't promising. Luckily its only one day, we were thinking. We had spent a couple of hours in Cortina (of car fame) and it was very very pretty. But not in out hastily made opinion worthy of actually staying there.
But Belluno...

| More |
But during the day it grew on us. It was an interesting place - for a day and a night. Good food!
 |
| Town phallic symbol |
The town had history and was a proper working town. We met all of th epeople who we seen walking over the past couple of days. Several times - Belluno is small.
 |
| Well and corner |
It had an old bridge, well camouflaged - but due to climate change and erosion the river has got wider and has moved. So the old bridge no longer fits.

The back drop was as you would expect, Dolomitic and back.

Late afternoon sun gave us a chance to play.

| The Shadows (Walkers after the storm) |
Corina (of car fame) d'Ampezzo
Really beautiful - in the let's go to Cortina for lunch. It seems to be basically an expensive ski resort. Pretty to look at but missing any depth or soul. Worth a visit but don't stay was our conclusion.
 |
| A big one |
We spent a few hours including a long lunch. Enough we judged.
 |
| Even the bus station was pretty |
We figured we did Cortina.
 |
| The leaning tower of Cortina |
The full name is almost bigger than the town.
 |
| Just a tourist trap |
A modern, up market ski resort.

| Still leaning |
And to add insult to injury - no Cortinas
Belluno is the capital.
