We thought of looking for the La Bocca de la Verita (Mouth of Truth). We knew the existence of this thing because we can see the clones in most of our shopping complexes. However, we did not manage to find it, though we were very very close to it. This was because we received the wrong info from our hostel guardian. Even the sign board along the Tiber river gave the wrong info. We actually walked along Tiber river for almost 20 minutes under the rain hoping to find La Bocca, but we were moving further and further away. The exact location is given below.
The next place we went to was Pantheon. It was a church having a round dome with a hole on the ceiling. We could not understand why the hole existed, knowing very well that it rains and maybe snow in Rome. Then, walking back towards Termini direction, we went past and again stopped at Fontana di Trevi for the 3rd time.
While walking back slowly, we met a fellow traveller from Singapore near the Quattro Fontane (Four Fountains). She was also spending her last day in Rome, and we saw her off at the Republica metro station. Before reaching Stazione Termini (Termini Station), we saw a street demonstration and luckily they were moving away, while we were walking towards Termini.
Stazione Termini was a huge complex that also acted as a mini shopping complex. All trains and both metro lines meet here. We purchased our one-way express train ticket from Termini to Leonardo Da Vinci airport via Leonardo Express, and it cost E22/pax. It was not easy to buy the ticket from the biglietto machine, but we succeeded after 20 minutes of trial and error. We nearly met and got conned by a "helpful" man. We guessed he was one of those described in Trip Advisor, whereby our money could be taken and he returned to us with a useless or under-valued ticket.
