Juliet’s Balcony in Verona (?)
This sightseeing adventure was annoying. It was so crowded with people clawing at each other to rub Juliet’s right boob (it is said to bring good luck. What?! Weird.) Some people even tried to grab her nether regions. Poor Juliet.
Shakespeare wrote the drama of Romeo and Juliet- it was not based on a true story- so I don’t know what the deal is with this balcony- plus it was built in the 20th century!
I am smiling in the photo because we were on our way out!

Verona Arena
The Verona Arena (Arena di Verona) is a Roman amphitheatre in Piazza Bra. It is famous for the large-scale opera performances given there. To us, it looked like a smaller similar version of Rome’s Colloseum.

Short stop in Innsbruck
Innsbruck is the capital city of Tyrol in western Austria. It is located in the Inn Valley and is about half way between Munich (Germany) and Verona (Italy)- Which was perfect for us to stop and take a driving break. After we left Allie’s house, we drove to Munich, then Bavaria, Innsbruck, Verona, then ended up in Venice.
Innsbruck is an internationally renowned winter sports centre, and hosted the 1964 and 1976 Winter Olympics as well as the 1984 and 1988 Winter Paralympics.
The word bruck comes from the German word Brücke meaning “bridge” which leads to “the bridge over the Inn”.

The walk to the waterfall and view from the bridge is almost as pretty as the castle itself!
