April 2010 Roadtrip: Italy, Verona

After sightseeing in Venice, we drove to Verona, town known for Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. I consider this tragedy as one of the best tragedies ever written.
When we arrived, we parked our car outside the center of Verona. Then we took a walk through the center. As we were walking, I noticed a lot of features with the origins in Medieval, which are common to the majority of Italian cities.

Verona's pigeons can use zebra crossings :D

Love wishes

When we came to Juliet’s house, there was a lot of people. Then my boyfriend, who was there before, told me that there was much more sticky notes attached to the walls when he was last there, he also told me that there’s always a lot of people there. It is said, if you attach a sticky note on the wall in front of the Juliet’s house, your love will come true. And if you touch the tit of Juliet’s statue, you will have luck in your life.

We really enjoyed while sightseeing Verona. But for us it was not necessary to attach a sticky note to make our love true  :P
