I don't know why I got so hung up about it though, it was hardly the end of the world!<br /><br />I think we made a real effort to see all the big tourist spots like I'm sure most people do, our guide had lots of other little bits and pieces in as well so we could wander around and see what else was in the area. I can certainly say that wherever you are, you're never too far away from a church, there are so many in Rome it's unreal. Even on the main shopping street there are at least 4 or 5!<br /><br />I am such a sucker for sweet treats, the gelato was incredible all three times we had it (I know, I know). I'd definitely recommend the Della Palma as it had one of the best selections available I'd seen while we there and, it was an absolute bargain at about 3-4 euros for the pot I've got in the picture which is only a couple of pounds.<br /><br />I saw your picture of the pumpkin pecan cake today, it looked delicious, I'm such a sucker for pumpkin pie but it's very difficult to get hold of over here not least of all because the shops don't stock pumpkin beyond October - Sad Times.<br /><br />Anyway, I digress, like you say, it's more fun to explore/get lost trying to explore on your own, you discover so much more off the beaten track than on it!<br /><br />Laura xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209309050883625091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934608432598458748.post-52311948255411701772014-11-26T17:26:14.381+00:002014-11-26T17:26:14.381+00:00What a bummer about the fountain!

When friends and family came to visit us, we wanted to take them there. But for nearly the entire time we lived there, the front was blocked with scaffolding. At least the inside was still beautiful!<br /><br />Such gorgeous architecture in Rome. I recognize a few spots from movies and tourist guides, but you also shared some places I'd never heard of. That cozy little trattoria looks so lovely! We just had gelato last night. I bought this sea salt caramel gelato to go with Kyle's pumpkin pecan pie birthday cake. We've been slowly snacking away on both for almost a week. <br /><br />Like you and Ad, we also prefer to investigate on our own. We'll take a guided tour, but if there's an option to go it on our own, we'll definitely pick that every time! <br /><br />I'm loving these Rome recap posts! Looks like such a lovely time. It's giving me the wanderlust itch already!<br /><br /><3 Liz<br />www.withwonderandwhimsy.comwithwonderandwhimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485628552140369759noreply@blogger.com
