Sunny day
April at it’s best
Traveling great
Traffic slow
Until I hit the city
Trento was chaos!
Wrong turning
Far from destination
Lost in space
Lost in time
On the new high-speed by-pass
Entering Trento!
Navigator …
My son, said: “Calm down!”
Cold sweat dropped
Down my brow
I felt the traffic pressing
Dodging all around!
Ah…our turn
Finally, inside the town,
We found signs …
They guide us!
“Is this the right round-about?”
Hospital sharp right.

I’m not fond of heavy traffic. I only got my license 7 years ago and usually drive aruond home. The tension was real 😉

YOU are amazing if you can drive in Italy! I get so nervous when there are too many round abouts and stopping is ONLY a suggestion…yikes! You did very well, my dear. High five!

LOL…and I’m in the North of Italy! Actually, when I learnt to drive round abouts became the thing throughout Europe, so I’ve never had much problems with them…and yes, we do have a lot of suggested stops 🙂 but we also have rules of yielding etc which tells us who has the right of way. Problem for me are the fast moving roads where you’ve got people zig-zagging all over the place..that makes me sweat cold!

We drive crazy in Montreal…and even Montrealers say it is wild in Italy:) but for the rest of Canada when they don’t come to a complete stop, they call it a Quebec stop. Funny here in Quebec we call is Un Stop Américain. haha..

LOL…I think that Montreal and indeed Quebec is probably more European than the rest of Canada…and both more European than the USA! One of the reasons I’ve always said that if I ever decide to return to North America, I’d live in Canada.
