24 d Venice - around Verona

We woke early the next morning as we wanted to explore as much of Verona
before our train back to Venice. Our hotel served a lovely continental
breakfast of hams, cheese, pastries, breads and fruits.
A visit to Verona is not complete unless you visit the famous Casa
Giulietta. Set back in a little alley a little of ambience is lost as the
Japanese Tourists are en mass and need to take every photo and every selfie
at every angle with the bronze statue of Juliet. Rub a nose, rub a toe, but
for Juliet it is rub a breast for good luck. A few euros will let you
enter her home and head up to the balcony and play out your own love story.

A small market in the Piazza Erbe made for great entertainment as we drank
our coffee and watched the shoppers move from one stall to another.
We managed to spend the morning wandering the back streets, visiting the
picturesque Ponte Pietra, the Duomo and the Castelvecchio. A quick lunch
before it was time to head back to the station for our train back to Venice.
