Italia itenerary

Tomorrow Sara and I leave for a week-long trip to Italia! We're flying Ryanair from Santander to Milan (Bergamo), where we will start our traveling. Since we only had a week, we decided to stay in the North of Italy and experience a more relaxing trip rather than a more touristic trip like to Rome or Florence.

So here is our itenerary for the next week so you can track us:

   Leave Bilbao at 5:30p for Santander.
   Catch 10p flight from Santander to Bergamo
   Arrive just after midnight and spend the night there.

   Visit Bergamo before heading to Verona in the late afternoon.

Fri, July 16:
   Walk around Verona, the town of Romeo & Juliet.
   Leave for Venice in the early evening.
   Eat dinner along a canal.

Sat, July 17:
   See Venice during the day, enjoying the festivities of Festa del Redentore, celebrating the end of the plague.
   At night watch an hour-long fireworks display from the famous Basilica San Marco

Sun, July 18:
   Spend more time wandering the streets and canals of Venice... maybe even a gondola ride.

Mon, July 19:
   Enjoy the morning in Venice before heading to Lago di Como (Varenna) after lunch.
   Walk around the lovely town of Varenna before enjoying a meal by the lake.

Tues, July 20:
