We finally made it into town around 11:30 and we tried to buy train tickets at the American Express office at Spagna but their system was down (they told us to come back later or tomorrow), and then we tried to use the internet at a café, but they needed real ID (not a copy) so we did neither and wasted some time. Cindy wanted to go back to the Termini station to another National Museum (they are everywhere around Rome!) It was a great museum (better than yesterday) and we saw lots of statues, wall mosaics, and a huge coin collection- very interesting. It was 2 by the time we were done so we found a restaurant on the side of the road and had a good lunch with a British waiter. We finally made it to the Colosseum around 3:30pm. When we got there a woman asked us if we spoke English and if we wanted a tour of the Colosseum and a free tour of the Forum- it was 6 euros each- it sounded great so we said yes. The tour guide had a lot of interesting information to share, but he was kind of rude. We also only walked just inside the Colosseum and he talked for 30 minutes in 1 spot, so we didn’t see much.
