Verona

Before leaving Grindelwald we checked the dates we were supposed to be in Limano. It turned out that we were leaving Grindelwald on the second and booked in at Limano from the third. The landlady at Limano was unable to change the booking, so it was time to come up with a plan B. We decided on Verona because of the Rome and Juliet connection. We also saw the possibility of a quick visit to Venice the following day. We got off the freeway at Verona and queued up at the tollway paystation. Someone ahead seemed to be having trouble with paying so it seemed wise to back up and  enter another lane. The visibility in the van is very poor, and despite a check in all mirrors, I managed to overlook a little Belgian car behind me.

 He poinjted to some damage on his car and claimed it had just happened. I argued wiith him, and his daughter got out and argued with him. 

In Verona they were holding the first night of their famous opera season. La Traviata was being performed in the ancient Arena.



We also visited the balcony which has become touted in the last few years as Juliet's.
