Today we caught our cute little local electric bus to the Borghese Gardens to visit the splendid Villa Borghese. It was a purpose built Palazzo - to hold the Cardinal's art collection and what a nice collection it is - full of Caravaggios, Titians and Bernini sculptures. Lots of culture today. After a pleasant lunch in our favourite trattoria with the big wine glasses, we rested (or at least I did - Liz was out shopping) and then went across the river for some evening views.
Believe it or not - I was not hungry for dinner - perhaps all this rich food has caught up with me! Hugh went off to Spain so Liz and I had a quiet night in - although the word quiet and Rome are not synomous.
