Being the only authorized driver, I drove every one of the over 1500 miles we logged on our journey. Debbie was happy to let me do the driving and since I love driving this was no problem!
Driving on crowded city streets was a little nerve racking. The streets tend to be very narrow by Amercian standards. The street signs are frequently unclear, hidden on buildings or just not there. A few times I forgot to drive on the left side but quickly corrected my error without incident. Also a few times I hit the curbing with the left side wheels until I learned to adjust to driving from the right side.
Driving thru the countryside was a real treat. There was little traffic and for a former Boston cab driver the
mountain roads are better than any amusement park ride!
Note that the car rental company doesn't supply the van with hub caps. They'd just get knocked off by tourists hitting curbs.
from driving to check out the sites!
