I slept really well despite the few bites on my leg giving me Gip!
Today I am determined to see Juliette’s Balcony and aslo to go inside the Amphitheater in Piazza Bra. I have decided against a day trip to Lake Garda, I’m sure it would be beautiful, but I think I want and need a slightly slower day today.
It feels a little cooler today, yesterday was hot and still, today is cooler and there is a little bit of breeze.
I walked to Piazza Bra and went inside the Arena/Amphitheatre it has a long history built originally by ancient Romans it has been utilised for many things over the intervening centuries. Interestingly it has been used both as a centre for the administration of Justice and also as the home and workplace for the cities Prostitutes!! It is also the setting for the Cities Summer Season of Opera. Unfortunately there are no shows while I am here.
Juliette’s Balcony is a little underwhelming, but you can’t come to Verona without a visit! I decided against the obligatory selfie holding Juliette’s left breast (it’s supposed to bring love into your life) I wasn’t sure how to hold a boob and take a selfie at the same time!! 😂
I had a gorgeous lunch I Piazza Erbe, I started with a ‘Hugo’ which came with the usual Olives & Crisps. I sat and enjoyed this for a while them ordered lunch. I had Pesto Pasta, it was really gorgeous, I loved the pasta shapes and it came with a brown bag full of various flavoured warm rolls! One of my nicest meals. The Piazza is a great place to sit, there are market stalls selling a variety of things and lots of locals and tourists milling around. I managed to sit there for 3hrs enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes! 😍
I spent a couple of hours in the afternoon back at the hotel, relaxing in the little patio area and then lying in the cool of my room reading, lovely.
My plan was to go out in the evening and have a light meal, however I ended up having a drink at 2 places which offered a large range of free nibbles, something that is very Italian. The first place was off the main streets and looked like somewhere locals called into after work, the second place was Piazza Bra but had lovely nibbles as well! This then meant I didn’t need to buy dinner, so my 2 drinks and evening meal came to €9.50 Bargin!!
I really think Verona is underrated as a place to visit, I would highly recommended it.
Tomorrow I am on my way to Venice, the last stop on my fantastic Adventure.
Ciao for now Bellas 💖💖
