Palle took us in to Verona after dinner and we walked around the old town, very nice but Verona is a very big city, well 3 million people which I didn't realize. We also drove out to the Garda lake, it was dark but was still nice. It is a huge lake with really cold water as it comes from up in the mountains, there's a sort of a half island which goes out into a part of the lake which we drove out to. There was a castle there, a real storybook castle with a moat and everything, very cool!
The next day we went to Venice, only an hour and a half by train. Walked around, went into some cathedrals, talked to a man making morano glass for over an hour, bought some awesome little rolls from a place packed full of people yelling in Italian where you get your rolls and a tiny glass of wine and eat it leaning on wine barrels. Walked around a whole lot more, went to St Marcs square, saw some gondolas, had some pizza, walked around a bit more and caught the train back to Verona!
