The Basillica St Anastasia

I am not at all a religious person, but I love churches. I think they hold a lot of history and a lot of art and treasure. It seems very unfair that the church is very rich when the people are not.

If God created man in his own image why did he create some rich and some poor. It makes no sense to me.



We came across this church by accident as we walked along the street. It's a very big and very impressive church.




It was indeed very beautiful.



Fantastic sculptures



Amazing and very old paintings.

If you like churches, and let's face it there are a lot of them in Italy, its worth a visit

Verona at last.

    We arrived at Varona Airport at 10.05 local time. We are staying the Hotel San Luca. I was a bit worried about the hotel as it is on a little back Alley. I had no need to worry, its a lovely hotel, the rooms are nice and the bathroom has a waterfall shower which is always good as far as I am concerned. We unpacked and headed out for our first bit of exploration. Five minutes ftom the hotel and you come to the Arena of Varona. I had my first Aperol with lunch. It will not be my last. It was delicious. We found the Castelvecchio which was closed by the time we found it but we plan to come back. We found some Roman Ruins that were uncovered when they started to build an underground car park. We found a Roman Arch on the Riverside. We had coffee and cake. I love a good coffee and this was a good coffee. The cookies was also delicious 😋  Our first day went very well. Tomorrow we start some serious sight seeing.
