A small bustling town. This place has nothing that strikes my fancy except for the fact that it was the town which Shakespeare's greatest love story took place.
I got off the train at slightly past 11. Went opposite the 'stazione' to the bus company's office to get my bus ticket (Yes, in most parts of Italy...you have to buy your bus ticket at the 'Tabacchi'-tabacco dealer, the bus company's counter or your hotel reception, before you board. They usually don't sell you tickets on the bus).
A huge banner was hung to the left of the counter. A city tour. For €15, a tour bus will take you across this small town to those famous spots around the city with an english speaking guide. With the summer heat (Yes, its really summer now...it's now 32degrees at noon) and the potential headache of locating those hotspots around the town on a foreign map...this is a pretty good deal.
The bus whizzes through the narrow streets of the town. Stopping only for a short while at significant places for us tourists to snap our pictures then moving on to the next.
