All roads

All Roads

Happy Easter week to everyone! Enjoy the day and your easter eggs.Do all roads lead to Rome? the Pope will address crowds of up to 60,000 today in St Peters Square,Rome.A place where you risk life crossing a road.I lived in Rome for two years and never went to hear the Pope, the Sistine chapel hoever,surpasses all imagination and is beautiful.The Apian Way is one of Romes most famous and beautiful walks ,it was made to carry Army supplies originally.Till today Roman roads have lasted,they were perhaps the greatest road builders of lasting roads.

What are the roads like where you live? Ours are more chaotic than ever,buses being retouted due to construction,no drainage,and poor condition,we are walking over ditches and planks into shops,its an obstacle course,and the traffic is chaotic.its been a continuing saga for months now.

Turkey was perhaps the most dangerous driving I ever experienced,especially 3 point turns atop of mountain passes,with the wheels hanging over cliffs.Dead lorries adorned dark gullies and valleys,camels pass cars on freeways at great speedJapan was the most orderly with pop up cardboard policemen,they would have run over them where I live,Very obediant to all stops and signs,and orderly.

There are however,beautiful scenic roads everywhere,I love country roads and winding lanes.i always wanted to drive along beaches as they do in Australia,or just for fun,

Road signs add to much confusion in most places,and the hook road turn in Melbourne was practically unfathomable.I had to swot their driving codes before going there.Some roads are more than dangerous,with drops into the sea ,or over cliff edges with no room to pass oncoming vehicles.Weather conditions can add to problems too.

What experiences have you had of road travel,you have loved,or hated?Have you  had any hair raising experiences you would like to share? Post memes gifs videos music,experiences,movies or trailers.
