Howdy!
We left Como this morning. I could’ve stayed by the lake for a while, to be honest, but we live by the tyranny of the tour.
Our first stop was Verona, where we had about two hours to see what we could, which wasn’t enough. What we did see was cool, though. We crossed into the old part of the city and almost immediately saw the Porta Borsari, one of the Roman gates. Kinda crazy to walk through a gate over two thousand years old.
From there, we went to the Verona Colosseum, which is in pretty good shape. These days, it holds about 15,000 people for operas and concerts. That was really cool.
Then we had lunch and went to the Piazza Erbe. That’s a really neat square and we didn’t do it justice, but I have some cool pictures.
That’s about it for Verona, though I must admit I took a wrong turn. I don’t do that often, so I should admit it when it happens.
Back on the bus, we headed to Venice. Got our first water taxi ride and we’re in the Hilton Molino Stucky. Let me just say, it’s gorgeous, especially it’s ceilings. Many are old 8x8 or so beams that have been refinished. I love them.
For now, though, we’ve eaten dinner, had our bottle of wine, had a drink at the rooftop bar, and are ready for bed. Catch you all tomorrow!
