Verona

On Sunday, we took the train to Verona. It was a delightful place but it was very hot! We have been a little unlucky to have struck a heatwave! We saw the Roman arena and then wandered to the Piazza delle Erbe.

 We went up the Torre dei Lamberti for wonderful views. Thankfully there was a lift!

 After viewing the tower we visited the nearby art gallery which was interesting. I especially liked these two pictures. The first one is of the piazza we had just visited.

We then walked across the Ponte Pietra to visit the Castel San Pietro. Luckily there was a funicular to the top for the great views.

I went into the Duomo which was very beautiful. 

I missed out seeing Juliet's balcony which was a shame! On Monday we visited the business district by tram which was interesting. In the evening we decided to catch a tram to dinner but it was stopped by another broken tram. This was a bonus as we stumbled on a fabulous restaurant. We were greeted with complimentary champagne and bruschetta. We then enjoyed pizza, pasta and wine. We even shared dessert and were given limoncello to try. The service was amazing and the food was delicious.
