Tour of Italy, continued. We went to Bolzano on Saturday morning. It was dreary outside, drizzling and chilly. All we did was stop at a castle that has housed a WW I museum since the 20's and a nice armory collection. That stop was for Steven and Jeff, but was well done and enjoyed by all. Next stop was to find our hotel, which proved to be an "interesting" drive. We rely heavily on our TOM TOM GPS system to help us find our way, and it decided that on our drive up the mountain to Soprabolzano we should take a short cut. Not something that should be recommended to a first time visitor to this mountain. Our attitude once we reached our destination was we weren't going back down, but were told of a much nicer way, and that GPS tends to send people that way. Day 2 we had a leisurely start to fine weather. Our Main destination for this day was an archaeological museum that houses the 5000 year old man who was discovered in the alps in 1991. Fascinating!! We got the audio guides and could have spent twice as much time as we did. We decided to drive to the Spa town of Mereno for more sights and back to the Hotel Fink. Day 3 was Trento (the location for the council of Trent held in the 1550's) and Verona, home of a intact Roman amphitheater, and the fictitious home of Romeo and Juliet.
