Ciao and welcome to Episode 55 where we are telling you all about historic river city of Verona.  Now you might know Verona for a famous Balcony from a Shakespeare play or the Verona Arena which is older than the Colosseum. We do tell you about those, but first we will give you the grand tour – as we explore all around the old city from Castle Vechio and its famous bridge, across the raging Adige river and up the funicular to Castel San Pietro for the most incredible views of the whole city.  Lyle is blown away with some art all about Dante in the Castel – who knew he was such an art connoisseur? Of course, we have drinks with a view before finding our way back down the hill to the incredible Duomo.  The artwork in this church is incredible. Come with us as we wander the famous Piazza Erbe and Piazza Bra and find a fabulous bar where the locals were lining up to get in – luckily we were there early and snagged a great table. Listen to the end to hear about the live concert inside the Verona arena we bought tickets to and the famous singer we saw (here’s a hint – they call him Italy’s Tom Jones) and what happened after we left the arena.
