Verona is probably best know for the balcony central to the famous scene in Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet. Most striking though is the huge Roman arena. Although ravaged by time it is still a very impressive sight, and more recently has been restored to the stage where it is possible to use it for public events once again. The crowds no longer bay for the blood of gladiators, criminals and wild animals but rather attend for a more culturally rewarding experience - opera !

Hi. This blog is a brilliant idea - it's great to be able to keep up with what the offspring are doing without having to wait for postcards! Looks like you are having a good, if tiring, time there and some serious catching up with sleep will be necessary when you get home!
Really enjoying the photos and updates - it sounds as though it really is a trip to be remembered! Glad we have two weeks on a yacht for Cara to catch up on some sleep afterwards! Hope you all enjoy the rest of the trip. Arrivederci! The Attenborough Family.
