Verona

Arrived in Verona airport and were pretty much last through security….in Italy for the first time for most of us and we ended up in a taxi which was really easy to find. After an extremely fast taxi ride…..taxi driver was clearly on a day off from Monza!!!!! We were dropped off at the offices of our first accommodation of the two weeks.

Unfortunately the office was closed, there was nobody about and despite ringing the bell and intercom we were ignored…….after the travel and the tiredness it was getting a bit concerning after five mins of checking we were in correct area. Michelle however saved the day by checking in the letterbox, where a letter addressed to Jacqueline had been left….panic over……all we had to do now was to find the apartment !!!!! A short five minute walk turned into a 10/15 minute walk with packs on through the streets of Verona…but Jacqueline was a star and found the apartment and as we walked into out first two bedroomed apartment, our home for the next four nights, we were very happy to have travelled for 13 hours and the apartment was clean, spacious and most importantly….air conditioned,

We then decided to get pizza for our first meal and the little pizzeria down the road was superb and with our basic Italian we managed to get some pizzas and some starters.

Pizzas were great and we went to bed happy that day 1 of our adventure was completeRead more
