Bob and Ann - BAC Tuscany on the Med 2013

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 into the machine to get our ticket printed. It did not really matter if we had a ticket because we did not see a conductor on board to check. We switched trains in Grosetto. Our train to Rome arrived 30 minutes late. We did not mind because we had no more connections to make.

We arrived in Rome and wandered around until we found Hotel Sonya. When we checked in, they routed us to their "new" hotel – a sister hotel – Hotel Opera Roma. It seems OK and was rated well by Rick Steves. We dumped our things 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. 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 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.

Here is an animated slideshow of our food tour.
