Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo?

Hi Everyone,
Verona is awesome! We arrived yesterday after two nights in VERY expensive Venice. After checking in to the lovely guesthouse we are staying in, we walked down to the centre of town and Juliet's house (of Romeo and Juliet - Verona is where Shakespeare set his play.) We saw the famous balcony, toured the house and took lots of photos! We also visited Juliet's tomb. Romeo and Juliet is everywhere here - half the souvenirs you can get have the lovers on them.
Today we have visited the Arena of Verona, a gorgeous outdoor Roman ampitheatre which is Verona's opera house. You can go in and right out to the middle, where Dave had a good time pretending a crowd of 20 000 were all screaming his name!!
We go to Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps in two days time.
Hope everyone is well.
