Day 6 (May 8) Capitolini Museum

After some deliberation we decided to visit the Capitolini Museums.  They came recommended highly by Jim Suttell, a former co-worker who has travelled extensively in Italy.  The plan was to take the #85 bus, but I had forgotten to get bus tickets on Saturday, and now it was Sunday and our little Tabac shop was closed.  So we walked up to the Ponte Lungo Metro station to buy them and then take the Metro to Termini and transfer to a bus to Venezza square where it was a short walk to the museum.  At Termini, there was confusion as to which bus to take and where to stand for it.  But we eventually boarded a #64.

At the Vanezza We walked a short distance to the museum and spent the day there before catching a bus back to Termini abd switching to the Route A subway line which zipped us in a packed train back to our stop at Ponto Lungo.

After an hour wait we returned to the il Pomodoro restaurant for another lovely pizza dinner.  Tomorrow we take the train to our new home for the next three weeks:  the brand new ship the Koningsdam.
