Been there, done that, and you are 100% correct!

You liked that drive, try The Isle of Capri! Even more daunting.

Yeah, when I visit Amsterdam I always rented a bike--it's really the best and most fun way to get around. It is definitely not made for cars and if you have an incident with a bike, the Dutch will definitely always look at the car who will be at fault. I've seen cars go out of their way to avoid even causing the bicyclists' to move. I can't imagine driving around Amsterdam. Paris: I'd have to say driving in Paris has topped my list of insanity, especially at the traffic circles with no lanes and a million cars just trying to get in and out of that mess. You just have to figure that shit out and hope no one hits you. Florence: This was crazy too but I actually kind of like their style of driving. The huge cobblestones in the city center is so messed up that you have to crawl through those streets or else you'll bottom out with your car. They love to disregard the lines in the road and they'll often straddle the lines for a bit before actually getting into their lane. If it fits then you're good to go! Cambodia: I will never drive here. My uncle drove us from Battambang to Phnom Penh and I swear the last time I thought I was going to die like that was in Iraq. Don't ever try and drive in Cambodia, leave it to the locals. |

Amalfi Coast... I would highly suggest renting a motorscooter instead of trying to navigate by car. The bike is much narrower and actually feels safer than trying to squeeze a car through those blind corners.

Beech Mountain, North Carolina. Dislocated my right shoulder snow boarding. My right arm being sort of tied to my chest in a sling made shifting gears while dealing with twisty mountain roads a bit tricky. Was also my first experience driving on icy roads.

Amalfi coast has a pretty tight road that I've been on where the buses nearly hit your car. That's pretty fun. Driven all through Italy and that's pretty sane compared to some of the places in Eastern Europe.

Most stressful for me is either Kabul or Kandahar. Getting stuck in traffic and crowds in a Humvee in downtown Kandahar was a bit stressful. Likewise, bumper to bumper in Kabul with motorcycles zipping in between cars and some of them leaving presents on the cars raised the blood pressure a bit. |

Cambodia, IMHO, is fine. At least in Siem Reap region. Very civilized. Maybe b/c of Ankhor Wat. 10 yrs ago the only thing that bothered me was $25 tax to get out of Cambodia. But India - that's a place where a foreigner should never drive. If you get to choose between a cow and a local - hit the local ! If you hit a cow - good luck defending yourself against an avalanche of trouble. You'll may be stuck in the country for very long time. Even in jail. But hitting a local guy if you had to make a choice - almost nothing. Don't take any offense please if i hurt anyone's feelings. Just something that I've been told in Varanasi. :-) |
