Roaming In Rome

We are up once again at 5:00 AM. Nope still not a morning person. The restaurant called the Local is open at 5 AM so this is where we have been doing g breakfast.

We have booked tickets to a museum called the Capitoline Museum. It was recommended to us by another passenger.

We get on the bus and leave. It is about an hour and a half to get to Rome from Civitavecchia where we are docked. Our guide this time was not that great. She sent around a sign in sheet and a blurry map of Rome. She dropped us off and said to meet her at 2:45. No preamble about Rome, no hey where are you going, nothing. No tip today. Laura and I head off and get the Hop on Hop off tickets to get us to our destination. It is a long ride through the city.

I haven't been to the museum before so this was new for me. We drive past the Colosseum and of course every where you look you see ruins. The crowds are unbelievable. We finally arrive at the museum.

There are not so many people here, thank goodness. The exhibition consists of BC/AD artworks, statues, pottery and tapestries. Check out the photos. Too much to explain here.

Once we get through the museum, we have to head back. It is about a 45 minute drive back. We didn't get here until 10AM, so we didn't have that much time here.

Laura wanted to checkout a few liquidation stores so I grabbed some.pizz and wine to wait for her.

I have managed another 12000 steps (half of which were stairs) and we took the bus. I think a nap.is in store when we get back.

A nap was so in order. Onto dinner. We are both having lobster tonight. We are back in the Commodore dining room. Check out the pictures!Read more
