Tour: Touring

So, to get around we decided to hire a car.  We'd driven in Europe before, but only with our own car - right hand drive.

Suddenly faced with driving on the left, in a car whose controls we weren't familiar with, and which was left hand drive.

And it was that last fact which proved to be the hardest to get used to.  At least the pedals were still the same way around.  But the gear change on the right, and positioning the vehicle in the road were significant challenges.  However, most of all was the continuing temptation to look up and to the left for the rear view mirror, only to see the sky of a bit of a building.

All quite scary.  And this was after practising for around half-an-hour in an underground car park first.
