We did it! We went to Verona yesterday, which is 1.5 hours away from Lago di Garda, floated around town, shopping, wine tasting, people watching, etc.
Verona is a wonderful town, founded 2500 years ago and becoming Roman 400 years later – beauty everywhere you lookSome of you might know that I’m a big fan of writing instruments and paper products – discovering a Fabriano store in Verona is like paradise ❤️Winetasting at “Signorvino” was very nice with wine from Sardinia and Veneto! We enjoyed it a lot, but I’m not sure how much the air conditioned room played a role in it…The tiniest store I’ve ever seen, roughly the size of a Queen sized bed!Edith in Verona [citymap with the Amphitheatre / circle]The oldest store we’ve seen that daySince my suitcase is still stuck at customs in Germany, I’ve a good excuse to do some shopping 😬Dinner before the big event: Gorgonzola gnocchi and salad…After dinner we went to the Amphitheatre to watch “Carmen” 💃🏻 Inside staircase with Ted, who looks like he’s shrunk 🧐This theatre seats 22,000 people, it’s huge! And the acoustic is so good, none of the singers nor the musicians need microphones. Our seats were high up / far away, but we could hear everything: the castanets, the flamenco dancers steps, the soft sang love declarations, everything!The opera started at 9pm, finished at 1pm – that’s when lots of people go out to dinner. All the restaurants are open and the town seems like a beehive! We were home in bed at 4am! What a long day it was and what a great adventure! 💃🏻
