We reserved a mini bus with Dave and Marilyn Raymond to take us to the train station in Donoratico. We got there in plenty of time for our train. I finally figured what data to enter to get our ticket printed. It didn’t really matter because we didn’t see a conductor on board to check if we were paying riders. We switched trains in Grosetto. Our train to Rome arrived 30 minutes late. We didn’t mind because we had no more connections to make.
We arrived in Rome and wandered around until we found our hotel. When we checked in, they routed us to their “new” hotel – a sister hotel called Hotel Opera Roma. It seems OK and was rated well by Rick Steves. We dumped our thing in our room and walked down the street to a trattoria for lunch. We had bruschetta and pasta,
Our focus for the day was a walking food tour with Eating Italy Food Tours. We took the Twilight Trastevere Food Tour. You can read about it on their website. We really enjoyed it and recommend it as a “must” for anyone who spends more than a couple of days in Rome. Our guide, Bo, was very knowledgeable about to food in this area. She also gave us good information about the history of the area. By the end of the 4 1/2 hour tour, we were very full and very happy. I would like to say more, but it’s getting late and I have to go to sleep.
