Our final destination of the day was Verona. The main city centre was teeming with people when we got there. It was really the first time in Italy that we felt rather overwhelmed by other tourists. It really wasn't very pleasant walking shoulder to shoulder with strangers so we just had a quick look around and moved on.
Juliet's balcony, fictional but yet still draws thousands of visitors each year.
Verona's Arena, this predates the Colosseum by almost 50 years. Nabucca, one of the operas playing in the summer opera festival this year, was being staged here that night. We did think, (all of one minute!) of buying tickets for this but we came to our senses. These 2 monkeys, sitting still for 3 hours, watching and listening to something they can't understand? Don't think that's going to happen!
