Up and Down in Verona

We seem to have gone up and down a bit today.

First of all we went up the Funicular Railway. We had a little trouble finding it as it was up a little sidestreet so we walked past the end of the street without seeing it. Good old Google helped out and we found it in the end.

It's not a huge Railway, but the views from the top are quite spectacular.

We went for a little walk while we were at the top and found this old gateway.

Throught the gateway we found what we think were old city walls. I think they were medieval. You could see the walls running all the way along the top of the hills.

In the afternoon we went up the Torre Dei Lamberti E Gam. The tower was originally built in the 12th century, and then added to in the 15th century to get to the hight it is now.

I am pleased to say there was an elevator that went most of the way up or I would never have made it to the top. Only 40 steps left to climb and I managed them. Once again stunning views over Verona.
