Verona

Today we decided to catch the train and spend a day in Verona. Once again we were blessed with lots of sun and temperatures in the mid 20s.
After a drink, sitting outside on one of the squares we saw the main Arena/Amphitheatre. Built in the 1st century and still hosting big concerts today (photos 1&2)
First church of the day was S. Fermo (photo 3) then onto Juliet's house to see the famous balcony (photo 4)
Next came Plazza dei Signori (photo 5), S. Anastasia church (photo 6) and the Arche Scaligere (photo 7)
We then had a BIG climb up past the roman castle, to Castel S. Pedro for some magnificent views over the city (photo 8)
Back down the hill to the Duomo (photo 9, 10 (old bit) & 11 (new altar))...feet beginning to ache now!
Finally on to Castelvecchio (photo 12 & 13) before a slow walk back to the station and a welcome sit on the train back to Venice (taking the opportunity to write this on the way!)

Loved Verona, loving the sun too and the feet won't be tired after a few glasses of wine tonight!
