Two tasks: One, check out the National Archeological Museum. Two, take the tram to the beach for a swim.
Sometimes, it just pays to ask your hotel receptionist how to get somewhere. By the time Bill had misread the subway map, which admittedly was a bit non specific, and you pop up out of the underground expecting the Museum to be at least close, only to find it is a 1k walk away....
National Archeological Museum
Quite an impressive museum, if you like pots. Rose started at one end and was minutely examining every thing she could find, which was LOTS. Of pots. Busts of this and that, and so on. One of us took time to point out if we check everything, we might be here for weeks.
One amazing item was a mechanical zodiac indicator with actual bronze gears. A CAD animated exploded view, coupled with an actual reconstruction to show what a feat this was.
Tram trip to the beach
Neat tram, good trip. The beach was nice, but the water not really clear enough for snorkelling.
Trip back not so nice as we had to stand most of the way.
