Italy Day 1

So we made it back home at 320 am on Monday, was I ever glad to be home!  It was a fun trip to be able to see all the different historical sites, however since we took a tour, there were of course flaws that came along with the trip.  We kept a journal of our trip:

Day 1:
We departed around 0540 with 24 families, couples, and travelers.  Andreas, our tour guide is a German; he's been touring Europe since 1985, so he was suited well for this trip.  We stopped and took several pictures of our drive through Switzerland.   The mountain side and lake beds were snow-covered, but very beautiful.  I think that the Swiss mountains and passageways we breathtaking, I loved it!  We arrived in Italy around 1600; Lake Garda, the original destination was cancelled due to wintry weather, so we visited Verona instead.  We toured the Capulet House where Romeo is said to have first set his eyes upon Juliet.  A local pizzeria hosted us for dinner, and we toured the local ancient walls.  We departed Verona for a two-hour drive to Venice.  We spent the night at Hotel Antony, Room 118.
