From Siena we had a few days to kill before heading to the Alps. To break up the long drive we opted to stay in Verona for three night with the intention of doing a side trip on the train to Venice. Our enthusiasm was started to wane and Finn was having trouble sleeping and having some reaction to the milk formula that we had dragged all the way from Singapore. In any case Verona was a little gem of the place that was not very touristy, modernly developed yet historic and full of hundred of good shops, cafes and gelato vendors. We splurged on the nice hotel that was located between the Roman Arena, which is the main attraction beside the Romeo and Juliette balcony and the main shopping treat.
We grabbed the hotel the week before on booking.com at under half price which was good. Pity the cost to park the car was so extravagant. $20 Euro a day but we didn't have any alternatives. We did manage one excursion around Verona looking at a castle above the town but other than that kicking around town was entertaining for a few days and we finally visited Shakepheres inspirational veranda on the last day.
