Walk to Santa Maria in Cosmedin – - regarded as one of the finest medieval churches in Rome. Nice marble floor. Plain without too many ornate, twiddly bits. In portico is the Bocca della Verita.
Basilica of SS Cosma and Damiano - near Roman Forum. Built in 6th century. Small. Wonderful mosaics in apse. Quiet, peaceful cloister.
Expensive coffee – we needed a sit down in the shade and a loo.
Basilica di San Clemente - 12th century church a street level built over a 4th century church which was built over a 1st century Roman house to which was added a 2nd century temple. Amazing. Interesting frescoes. Ist built level was 10m under street level.
Nice lunch in small local place.
Bus ride to an area of fancy shops which we were really too tired to enjoy.
Expensive afternoon tea - we needed a sit down in the shade, a loo and a sugar hit.
Quick visit to Sant Agostino for Helen to see the Caravaggio that I saw a few days ago.
Home to try and work out how to fit extra purchases into bag.
Nice pizza in Campo in restaurant right next to our front door with G.
