    they wernt going anywhere, maybe 40 feet closer to the destination.

    then the red lights came on up front so I braked and stopped with an inch to spare. next thing there were millions of eyties running around waving their arms about and fighting. No one seriously injured but the must have been half a dozen fender benders

        I thought the Italians drove badly till I went to Egypt.

        The Italians are pussycats.

          They also have an amusing way of letting you know that they want to overtake you whilst you are in front of them in the fast lane, by putting their right indicator on and tailgaiting you and flashing you repeatedly.

          I found it amusing to lightly touch the brakes and watch them go flying against the dashboard

            Been to Pompeii and it was amazing. Go up Vesuvio as well - just hope he doesn't decide to sneeze while you're up there

              Personally thought Vesuvius was a bit boring. Certainly not worth paying a tour company to take you there - might be worth a trip on the railway if you've nothing better to be doing.
