Hello again! We are back in London and are flying home later tonight. Yesterday we flew out of Treviso Italy to London and spent most of the day here. It feels really good to be back in a country where one speaks English, also its a lot cooler here in London compared to the heat we have been dealing with the past 2 days so that is nice. Last Tuesday we left Naples for Verona. We spent Wednesday in Verona and we really enjoyed our stay there. We visited these really old gardens that had a small maze. We also saw Romeo and Juliet's fake houses. Later that night we went to the Verona Jazz Festival and listened to some blues. The next day we went to Venice. It was cool to see all the canals and gondolas. In Venice we took an elevator (because they wouldnt let us climb) to the top of the bell tower. From there we saw the whole city, it was really nice. We also went into the Basilica Di San Marco, which was so beautiful. The ceiling was covered in gold mosaics and it was really pretty. The next day we went to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum which Orry really enjoyed alot. It was full of really modern art like Picasso, Dali, Jackson Pollock, Max Ernest, and alot of other really talented artists. We also had alot of gellati and it was sooo good.
So now we are here in London catching up on what we missed last time we were here. Yesterday we did the Tower of London. It was really cool to see all the prisoner's graffiti from hundreds of years ago and also the Royal Jewels. We also went to Camden Market last night but everything was closed. It was a really cool area though and maybe we will get to it today when everything is open. Well thats it for our trip! We had a really great time here and saw so many amazing and unforgetable sites. Thanks to everyone who has left us messages, it was really nice to hear from back home. We will leave you guys with pictures from Naples and from the past week. See you all soon!

Love, Melissa and Orry
