Today, we visited the Etruscan Museum in the Villa Giulia, a lovely villa near Monte Pincio which is a bit of a hike but we did it all with public transport. It has a fabulous jewellry collection which we loved and a fantastic frescoed loggia. I let Liz do a bit of shopping today and let her off the church trail for a day.
On the way to the restaurant to meet Hugh's colleagues Luigi and Carlo we came across a wonderful ceramic shop with gorgeous hand-made bowls and jugs - if only Australia was not so far away! Ceramic bowls are a bad idea I kept telling myself.
We had been to this lovely restaurant 5 years ago with Carlo and unfortunately I was not as hungry as I needed to be to do it justice, so this time I remembered not to eat too much before going. It is famous for its antipasti - I counted 12 plates of delicious food most of it vegetarian which made Liz and I very happy. We finished with Limoncello and a delicous bowl of raspberries and lemon gelati to die for. Such a wonderful night - Hugh is lucky to have such nice colleagues.
