Chloe and Anneke in front of the Third Largest Roman Coliseum in the world, at Verona
Today we went to Verona. We took the water taxi all the way up the Grand Canal to the train station. We took a train towards Milan and got off at Verona. Then we went to the coliseum in town. It is the third largest Roman coliseum in the world. Chloe was disappointed because, “When I walk into a coliseum, I want to be transported back to gladiators fighting, not to last Friday when a rock band was playing.” She did admit that it was a nice idea to reuse the place, although she did not like it that they did just that.
After we left the coliseum we stopped at a little café and got a snack and some beverages. As we were wrapping up our afternoon treat, it started to rain. We were reluctant but went to la Casa de Giulette (Juliet’s house) anyway, as it was on our list. When we finally found it, Anneke put a letter about our travels in the post to Juliet. As nobody wanted to stay, we quickly left for the train station.
When we arrived at the Venetian train station, we were all very hungry and tired. Because it was so good the first time, we decided to eat at Hard Rock Café again. We ordered and shared a couple appetizers and had a delicious meal. We got gelato for the last time in Venice and headed home.
