Yesterday I went walking by myself and found a few places that lesley would really like, so today we decided to visit those places. The main place I wanted to take her was through the old city (the shortest route) to Ponte Pietra and to eat at one of the restaurants nearby.
However, only a few hundred metres into our walk we came across a very Italian looking Kitchenware shop....Lesley was in her element. I can see we will be coming back here to make some purchases before we leave.

Within a while, we made it to the river near the bridge, and made our way along a few narrow lane ways that had a number of cafes, bars, and restaurants, an old Osteria called Alcova del Frate won out with a really good local menu, no pizzas or standard everyday pasta, just regional foods, also the shade and breeze blowing through the lane helped our decision.

After a very pleasant lunch, and feeling quite rested we went back to exploring. A short distance away we found the Verona Duomo and Piazza and quite a few little bars in the area.....we have to come back here it looks great!

We made our way back to Castelvecchio and our apartment for another well earned rest. Another great day!
