And I will also admit, in Sicily, my challenges went far beyond just parking.
The streets are narrow.
Like REALLY NARROW!
Especially in the old historical centres.
Driving these narrow streets makes my stomach sick.
Even as a passenger.
Not to mention that just walking down these narrow streets you never know when a car, motorcycle, moped or bicycle will come barreling down the narrow alley.
The rules are "There Are No Rules".
There are forested mountains, upland plateaus and lowland plains,.
Transportation by road is not the fastest as the roads are not always the best.
Patience is required.
Here are some scenes as we drove from Vientiane north to Vang Vieng and onward to Luang Prabang.
Not always, but sometimes.
Driving forward is rarely a problem.
However.....
"Highways" in Ireland, and also in Europe, are not always as big as I am used to in North America.
There are times when I just have to close my eyes, hold my breath and hope for the best.
That is when John is driving.
