After spending ages last night working out a route to Verona we set off this morning from the campsite and when we got to Garda about a mile later found a big sign pointing us back the way we had come saying Verona 33 km. So we turned around and followed the track along the lakeside for four or five kilometres to Bardolino where we totally lost the signs. After a quick trip to the tourist information office we got a pretty good booklet showing local bike trails and this led us on some really nice roads through the vineyards until we eventually picked up the paths alongside the canal above the River Adige which took us right in to the heart of Verona.
After a bit of dithering about we found the campsite on a hill overlooking the city.
We had a brief look around this afternoon and it was awfy hot and pretty busy, but we did find a Big Band playing in one of the main piazzas who were pretty good.
We are now melting slowly back at the campsite with a bottle of wine, listening to the crickets chirping away. We didn't have the stamina to stay down in town for the Italy- Germany match, I suspect we might hear some cheers..
