Verona Thursday 11th April

Hello again

We are wet and thawing out slightly as we sit in the cafe. The first bit of weather we have struck.
Another amazing place. We have just come from the ancient Roman ampitheatre. They are preparing for a performance of Aida on Thursday so there is much banging and clattering to get the seats in - in the wet, quite a feat. It is just like the stadium - yeah right! You'd definitely need cushions on that marble.

The hotel was interesting. Mike took a video to show you - it was compact to say the least.

We met an interesting Swedish couple at the ampitheatre. They have come from where we are going! They warned us that there are already a lot of people about in Florence particularly. We are intending to spend 2 nights in Venice and then head off to Florence.

Saw some lovely painted glassware here. Very tempted to see if they can ship it home for us. Quite unique - but we may see something in Florence.

Oh well, Mike's turn.

Cheers
Kerry
