Last Day as Tourist in Rome

We drove from back to Rome on January 3rd. Doug had done all of the driving on the trip and did an excellent job. Having a large car on very narrow streets was a challenge. The road back was a freeway. After stopping at my apartment to unload the car Doug, Tracy, and I went return it to the small Ciampino Airport where we had rented it from. This is a very small airport for low cost airlines. We successfully turned in the car and then took a bus to the Termini Station in the center of Rome.

Termini is the main train, bus and metro station in Rome. It has many shops and my favorite is the Venchi Chocolate shop. I think it has the best gelato in Rome. We got some and enjoyed eating it. Very close to the Termini station is the Piazza della Repubblica and the Roman National Museum. The museum was four stories, not crowded and housed sculptures, frescoes and mosaics, coins and jewels. It was a very enjoyable place to end Doug and Tracy's visit to Rome. We took the public bus back to my apartment and headed to a local Italian restaurant to have of course some pasta. - Nancy
