3 Days in Verona

We were sad to leave Venice and vow to return for more adventures.  Off on the train again to Verona.  Landed at the train station after about an hour on the train.  Decided to be adventurous and took the public bus to the Plaza Bra which is where the area is located.  Our hotel, the Romeo y Julietta, was within a moment's walk from the arena.  There was a large event happening at the arena which included Andrea Bocchelli; we didn't have to pay as we could hear it through open windows two evenings in a row! Below is a picture of the Verona Arena, the 3rd largest in Italy (or so they say).

We walked all over Verona; Sue did the required wave from Juliet's balcony.

We saw some beautiful churches; Eric captured this picture in the largest church in Verona.  Inside the church there is a magnificent organ mounted way up on the wall.  While we were there once of the parishoners began to play; it was quite inspiring.

We climbed the clock/bell tower at Piazza Erbe; as you can see, the engineer in Eric does not like unreinforced masonary.  The view was, however, 360 degrees and beautiful.

Castledelvecchio; quite a tribute to architecture.

The last evening in Verona Eric went out for some night shots of the arena.
