Day 24 Bardolino

Another beautiful day exploring this region. Set off to walk 5 .2 kms to Lazise at 9 15 am. A gorgeous lakeshore walk and nice to share some of it with the Andersons via FaceTime. We arrived in Lazise to find everything just opening up. We had a very healthy breakfast - fresh fruit and yoghurt before wandering the quiet peaceful streets and old fashioned shops. It also had an historical part complete with a wall. We then caught a regional bus which took us to Verona( 30 minute fast bus). After some lunch there we found the historical area which really was beautiful and there were fewer people than other cities we have visited. It included the remains of a large arena where they hold operas. The highlight was the Basilica of St Anastasia built by the Dominicans which would be of the most beautiful churches we have been in. We continued our walk around the historic area and down the river until 4 pm when we caught the bus all the way back to Bardolino( one hour). After a rest and much needed shower and water ( 36 degrees) we headed into town for dinner and a stroll along the water front which has basically been our routine every night we have been here. Things were quieter in town but still a lot of tourists around and people out for dinner and walks.Read more
