Verona

General 


Elliott was very good today. 

Activities

In the morning we got up early and after Elliott helped to get the croissants again and we'd had our normal breakfast we caught the bus to Verona. The first thing we looked at in Verona was the Arena which was in the Piazza Bra where the bus dropped us off. This was a very impressive Roman arena and set up for the opera season although One Direction have also played here:


Elliott climbed to the very top of the seats and looked out over Verona as well as having a closer look at the stage:


After the Arena we wandered down the main shopping street in Verona to visit Juliet's house and balcony, although we discovered it probably isn't really the same house where Juliet lived, and also that there may never have been a real Juliet in Verona. We took a picture on the balcony anyway though:


Then we found a cafe on a street corner for lunch and Elliott had a ham and cheese toastie. After lunch we wandered around the shops and unfortunately it started to rain. Elliott said that when he got back to England he was going to make sure he told everyone it rained in Italy too. However it did give him an opportunity to buy a new Spiderman toy from Verona's Disney Store and after waiting ages for the bus back to Camping Butterfly he did a toy review of his new purchase:


Next it was time for diary and handwriting practice before tea. After tea we went to the Camping Butterfly bouncy castle area for the last time as it was our last night and Elliott went bonkers on the bouncy slide. Finally we had more "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" before bed time. unfortunately it was Daniel's last night on holiday.
