Pack your plasters (bandaids) by kari5
As always, take a money belt that can be discretely hidden under clothing where you can keep cards, passports and the bulk of your money out of harm's way.Comfortable shoes are a must, with a good grip if possible because after rain the streets can become very slippery.Many sights (eg the Vatican) have a strict dress code - no bare shoulders and no bare knees. Ladies will probably find a long skirt more suitable than trousers in the heat.The one thing that we didn't like about Rome was that although the cobbled streets are very attractive to look at, walking on them can, quite literally, be a pain. Even wearing the most comfortable shoes we owned, my friend and I were both the victim of some excruciating blisters caused by walking on uneven surfaces all day. So make sure your shoes are super-comfy and you always have your plasters with you.
