    Story of boy meets girl

    We've been in Verona for 3 days - The home of Romeo and Juliette 💑

    We're staying in an apartment, again arranged through Airbnb and it is spot on! (It has air con!! 😁) It's a perfect location, just around the corner from Juliette's balcony.

    We have climbed to the top of Castel Sanpietro and Torre Dei Lamberti (clock tower) for panoramic views across Verona. We have also visited the Castelvecchio museum and bridge (over the Adije River) and enjoyed the atmosphere of both Piazza Brà and Piazza Erbe.

    Yesterday morning we went to the Roman Arena and couldn't help but think we were missing a trick if we didn't watch a performance in this huge amphitheatre!

    So it was decided, we were off to the Opera! We watched La Traviata, and we weren't disappointed it was bloomin' brilliant!

    We'll just remember to take our own cushions next time! To note - The Roman marble is hot hot hot 🔥
