Southern France-Italy

Today we headed off from Nice to a beach town in Italy called Lido di Jesolo. On our way there though, we stopped off at Verona, where the movie Romeo and Juliet was set. We visited Juliet's balcony and also got to see a statue of her.

Juliet's Balcony

In the entrance way to Juliet's Balcony there is a wall where you can write the name of your true love. Nearly all the exchange students wrote a name up from there family to there boyfriend. And yes, I did write a little note up for Lauri in Finnish.

The day after visiting Verona, we all travelled across to Venice on a small boat. There were a few activites planned for us in Venice so again we had an early start. After having an hour of free time in Venice we all met up again and headed off to have a Gondola ride.

After our Gondola ride, we went and visited a famous glass factory. While we were there watching, the man made this awesome horse in the picture below. It was so interesting to see him make it because he did it so easily, although it looks so hard.

A random robot man.....reminded us all of the movie Euro Trip

Most of our nights in Italy were free to do what we wanted to do. The picture below is of some German boys who tried to chat Heather and me up one night. No need to worry Lauri, they had no chance.
