Day 2 - sunday, march 6th

Sunday, march 6th

Today was our second day in Padova. All students ate breakfast with their host families before some of us headed to Verona to spend the day there. A typical breakfast in Italy usually consists of muffins, biscuits or other kinds of dessert and is therefore very different from what we typically eat for breakfast in Denmark.

After breakfast most of our class traveled to Verona where we split up in smaller groups. The weather was lovely and the sun was warming our cheeks while we ate lunch outside.

In Verona we also found time to be a little cultural and we visited a big church called Bassilica di San Zeno Maggiore with a 72 meter high bell tower. From the top of the bell tower you had an amazing view over Verona which looked beautiful in the spring weather.

Some of us also got to visit the house of Romeo and Juliet. In the yard there was a big statue of Juliet and it is apparently tradition to touch the breasts of Juliet and of course we all had to get a picture where we were touching the breasts of Juliet.  

We also visited the local roman arena, which looked a lot like Colosseum in Rome. Then we had 2 hours left to go shopping, which us girls were very excited about. At 6pm we had to take the train back home to Padova and most of us ate dinner at home with our Italian family. 

Overall we had a great day with both our host families and with our classmates!
