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 Iām a big fan of writing instruments and paper products – discovering a Fabriano store in Verona is like paradise ā¤ļøWinetasting at āSignorvinoā was very nice with wine from Sardinia and Veneto! We enjoyed it a lot, but Iām not sure how much the air conditioned room played a role in itā¦The tiniest store Iāve ever seen, roughly the size of a Queen sized bed!Edith in Verona [citymap with the Amphitheatre / circle]The oldest store weāve seen that daySince my suitcase is still stuck at customs in Germany, Iāve a good excuse to do some shopping š¬Dinner before the big event: Gorgonzola gnocchi and saladā¦After dinner we went to the Amphitheatre to watch āCarmenā šš» Inside staircase with Ted, who looks like heās shrunk š§This theatre seats 22,000 people, itās 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 – thatās 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! šš»
