Our flight home wasn't until tea time, so we revisited the Trevi Fountain, which this time had some water in it. Chucked a coin in, thus ensuring another return to Rome.
It was raining very heavily - the malaysian men who try to sell you stuff in the street had switched from novelty flying toys to "pipero" - umbrellas - therefore we thought that the best bet would be to avoid the outdoors and spend the morning in the Capitoline Museum.
You really do get museum'ed out in Rome so probably waltzed past loads of stuff that we'd normally spend a long time looking at, but still worth a visit all the same.
Here's an ancient Roman cure for a bad cough
Bad Hair Day...
A wildlife scene...
This is meant to be one of Hannibal's Elephants. It looks like the artist hadn't actually seen a real elephant himself, but somebody had described one to him.
Picked up our luggage from the hotel, then tube to train and caught the plane back to Blighty (took a picture of the plane to show two small boys when we returned, who were also to get an Italia shirt each that we'd bought from a sports shop in Rome).
I was in much danger of falling asleep on the long drive back from Heathrow, so had to stop off for coffee - of course the motorway services was selling Italian coffee, but it wasn't the same as the real thing ;-)
Great holiday, really enjoyed it. We must have walked miles - here are some pictures of our swollen feet :-)
