The roads in Rome are a very scary place. There are very few road markings and people seem to do what they like. For the last 2 days I have been a pedestrian and watching from a far. However, yesterday I caught a taxi to the hotel as it was just easier with all my luggage. This was a very scary ride. They all drive very fast and clearly have very good brakes. People are on their phones a lot and just push in when they feel like it. It was a very interesting experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-253\" src=\"https:\/\/eishonline.co.za\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/img_0816.jpg\" width=\"2736\" height=\"3648\" srcset=\"http:\/\/eishonline.co.za\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/img_0816.jpg 2736w, http:\/\/eishonline.co.za\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/img_0816-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/eishonline.co.za\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/06\/img_0816-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2736px) 100vw, 2736px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once I made it to the hotel, in one piece, a few of us starting the tour went for a wonderful lunch.

Some restaurants don&#8217;t even have signs in the front so only the locals know about it. We tried everything from breads, to pasta, to cookies and of course gelato.
