We got the Metro and train out to Ostia Antica and spent most of the day exploring the ruins (and hunting lizards!). I love the way that visitors can walk in most of the buildings, and even down steps to underground parts - we even saw a bat under the barracks.

We briefly walked round the newer town, with its medieval castle, before getting the train back.

We had dinner near the Trevi Fountain - a slightly unorthodox combination of a shared pizza then a pasta dish (Spaghetti Carbonara again).
