Verona - September 20 2006

Roman Arena

After Firenze, we went north to a small Italian town called Verona.

We had heard Verona was beautiful and we had also researched the town, discovering a colosseum like arena, built by the Romans and used today for concerts. Unfortunately, no concert was being held on the day we were there, however, another time for a visit is likely.

Verona is also a very pleasant town to walk around, with a stunning river and several class bridges (I like bridges!), plus the aforementioned arena as well as the usual great Italian Restaurants to choose from.

Not sure if we ate at the best restaurant by any means, as we normally choose a restaurant frequented by locals, however, the food was tasty, cheap and I had horsemeat, which was new to me. It was OK, but not incredible.



We only stayed in Verona for a single night at a very nice B and B, but Verona generally speaking, is a nice place and it would be worth spending more time there.
