Verona, one gentleman and his wife
Verona city no 3
We arrived yesterday lunchtime. First time here and it's impressive. Our hotel is just outside the ancient city walls, a short walk from the biggest square in Europe. In the square is a huge roman ampitheatre built in 89 ad and still in use today. It's huge. Seats 22000, more originally as the outermost ring was damaged in an earthquake and removed many centuries ago. Right now they are setting it up the stage and the scenery for the opera festival. We bought a ticket for the tour and saw the roadie guys assembling the everything. Because of the design they use a tower crane to get the sets in and out,
We managed to catch Juliet's house yesterday and spotted a statue of Shakespeare on the way back to our hotel. Our time here is limited to just two nights so we heed to cram a lot in today. The book says that the churches have some amazing artwork so we will be doing our best to see as much as time and tired feet will allow
