“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller
The next four days of our Italian adventure were busy, but we certainly found time to relax. We took a day trip from Venice to Vicenza so I could see the earliest indoor Renaissance theatre, and then to Padua to visit the famous Basilica of St. Anthony. Both these towns were lovely, and a great quick getaway from the chaos that is Venice. We also spent one night in Verona, and were stoked to have caught a show at the ancient Roman theatre – Kraftwerk! Our busy schedule slowed down for the next two days as we relaxed in beautiful Lake Como. We stayed in Bellagio and rented a boat in Varenna. Our four hour boat ride through the lake was definitely a highlight of our trip! As for outfits, it remained pretty hot, so dresses not only looked nice, but were cooling too!
