Rome - Day 8


We started the day with a trip to the Bioparc Zoo for Sarah's enjoyment.  The zoo turned out to be such a letdown, with sad and tired looking animals and not so nice facilities.  Singapore Zoo was much better in our humble opinion.
We couldn't get a taxi so we just walked outside the zoo and stumbled upon the National Museum of Modern Art.  We went in primarily to cool ourselves in the air conditioned interiors but found it to be a surprisingly nice find, seeing a few Van Gogh and Monet artworks. 
Hopped on a bus back to the apartment and found a nearby pizzeria for lunch.  We had a rest in the apartment before heading to Piazza Navona for more sightseeing and dinner.  There was a mime/clown performing in front of the outdoor restaurant at Piazza Navona so we got a free show!  Bought a souvenir painting in the piazza before heading home.

Enjoyed cooling down inside the museum
Very good sculptures and lifelike paintings
Van Gogh and Monet artworks
We found the museum to be a surprisingly good (unplanned) find.
Dinner at Cafe Domiziano right in front of the Fountains!
Night lights make the piazza very much alive well into the night.
