Milan
Woke up at 530 grabbed breakfast with cappuchino<3 and hopped on a long train. We hopped on the metro and got to the duomo, we bought lift tickets because both of our legs were in a lot of pain. We went through the church, couldn't find the lift of ...

Qui mange Quoi? Verona
I do not doubt that there are good restaurants in Verona, and I do not doubt that there are exquisite restaurants in Verona. Much like Menaggio, however, Verona failed to inspire our taste buds. Verona had promised so much more than Menaggio, with a ...
Romeo, o Romeo!
... they say Shakespeare never travelled, even though some of his plays are set overseas. This clearly does not bother the people of Verona, who make a thriving business out of the city now famous for it's connection with the ill fated Romeo and Juliet. ...

Wuh oh, Siena and Lucca
... Valpolicella country. I've decided that in Paris and Rome I was touristing (though I recognize I didn't see nearly enough in either) but Verona is going to be relaxing time. Which I also recognize is ridiculous since I go on a cruise in less than a week. ...

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene...
So its been a long time since I last blogged, soooo...what to tell.... We caught a sleeper train to verona which was an interesting experience: beds 2 metres above the floor, going 100+ miles an hour, going over extremely bumpy terrain tends to cause a ...
