| We travelled by train to Verona in order to meet up with Carolyn and Ian, who were enjoying a 10 day break in eastern Italy. Beautiful weather and we enjoyed a lunch on the shores of Lake Garda. | |
| Cooling off in the lake. | |
| No room on the beach. | |
| The following day, and a trip into Verona. | |
| From the top of the campanile. | |
| Lunch by the castle. | |
| A picnic in the Roman Arena in Verona, as we await the start of Aida. | |
| As the show began everyone lit their candles to further enhance the magical atmosphere. | |
| The set and staging were spectacular. | |
| A cast of hundreds... | |
| ...including horses. | |
