Day Four - Verona: | |
We rode to Verona this morning for our first real brush with history.
We stopped there for a few hours on our way to the Dolomites.
In Verona, we saw the Roman Arena and walked in Juliet's (as in Romeo and Juliet) footsteps. |

Day Four - The Dolomites: | |
After Verona, our bus wound up to Italy's Teutonic rooftop known as the Dolomites. Our shelter for the next couple nights was the Hotel Seelaus in the Alpi di Siusi area, near Castlerotto. It was a beautiful place, but felt a lot more Swiss than Italian. |
