Well, we arrived in Verona in the early evening and had to do a 20-minute walk from the train station to our Airbnb. It is quite exhausting lugging our backpacks everywhere. I am feeling a lot stronger as the days go on, but this Jillian Micheal's weight-loss program sucks a big one!! So, being the sabbatoger that I am, gelato was dinner tonight. From all the walking we did today in the heat and catching a train, no one felt like eating. We went for our dinner a short distance away in Plaza Bra. Returned and went to bed. Our accommodations are beautiful here in Verona. Very modern and contemporary in an old building. If too many electrical items are on, we blow the circuit breaker. Verona is the city of love ❤️ due to the fictional story of Romeo & Juliette. A city that is skipped by many tourists because it is underrated. I loved Verona and its leisure lifestyle. People take walks at night, sit in a trattoria, and just people watch. Everywhere you turn, there are neat things to see. From the hilltop, you can see the old city encapsulated by the clay running water of the river and more industrial on the outside. It is beautiful and I felt very comfortable walking around. On day 2 of Verona, we did a food, and wine tasting/history tour. Our guide, Alicia, was very informative and funny with her tidbits of history and folklore. We enjoyed pastries and sweet and savory snacks. A nice pasta lunch with a local Valpolicella. A wine and cheese shop with a tasting of Valpolicella, and Amarone. Finally a gelato stop. We met wonderful people on the tour.Read more
