We had lunch at the same Ju Ying Restaurant. This time we chose the ala cart buffet. Apparently there are many this type of restaurant in Rome.
After that we went to the Piazza del Popolo.
In the Piazza del Popolo, the Egyptian obelisk of Ramesses II from Heliopolis that stands in the centre of the Piazza and the "twin" churches: Santa Maria di Montesanto (left) and Santa Maria dei Miracoli (right).
Facing it, we walked to the left of it, and "climbed" up the Pincian Hill.
It felt comfortable with the sun shining down, wind carrying bubbles to the sky and the sound of children's laughter ringing in the air.

After walking around Pincian Hill, we walked down to the Piazza del Popolo and entered one of the "twin" churches.
Walked passed Piazza Dei Tribunali - Corte Suprema di Cassazione.
We saw the Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian, a fortress located on the right bank of the river Tiber.
We saw some street performers along the way.
I'm not very sure but I think we saw the St. Angelo Bridge and Ponte Garibaldi. There is another famous bridge, Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, nearby.
We walked a long way to the restaurant Alle Fratte Di Trastevere. There were many people, you may have to queue for a while. The sun set down by the time we sat down to have our dinner.
The food was okay, but nothing wow me.
And that's all for the day.
Rome Day 6: 2nd June Sat
