Early arrival into Rome and Check-in a bit later! Help!

Hi everyone!
2 of us are flying in from Cape Town to Rome for a wonderful Italian holiday but are just finalising logistics!
We land in Rome at 06:30 and can only DROP OFF our bags at our apartment at 11:15am.

Do you have any advise on what to do to kill the hours? We will both have a bag.

We thought that we should hop on a train to Termini and do a bag drop off for 3 hours and then go out and grab some breakfast and walk for a bit before collecting bags (in Termini) and heading over to Trastevere? Does this sound advisable and feasible?

All advice is appreciated! Thanks!

We always take the local train from FCO to the Trastevere station and then take the Tram 8 from the train station into the main part of Trastevere. It only takes about 15 on the tram. This is the most direct and least expensive way to get to Trastevere. How much luggage will you have? We have had a similar issue of not being able to drop off our luggage for several hours and have taken it to an outside cafe while we eat. Unfortunately, Trastevere station does not have luggage storage.
