1st August 2008:
Lake Garda & Verona

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.
