Pendragon in Verona
Posted: June 5, 2009 at 5:01 pmEvening all,
Seems everyone has arrived safe and sound at the Hotel in Verona. Rachel is sending me through some pics from their time in Verona, and I’m sharing them here with you!! Enjoy!
As they come through, I’ll update this blog 
Nick and Mark chilling at the hotel
then a quiet stroll around Verona and off the Juliet’s Balcony!
info on the Balcony from Wikipedia….
Casa di Giulietta
Juliet’s purported balcony, in Verona. Beneath it, on the walls, there are love letters.
….and in the small courtyard, a bronze statue of Juliet baring her breast. It is one of the most visited sites in the town. Legend is that if a person strokes the breast of the statue, that person will have good fortune…..I wonder if any of this “Statue love” was captured on camera…ahem
Many people write their names and the names of their beloved ones on the walls of the entrance. It is also a tradition to put small love letters on the walls (which is done by the thousands each year), which are however regularly taken down by employees to keep the place clean.
Cheers!!
The Discussion
see what everyone is saying

Brilliant! It’s not a bad job really!
