That was fun.

The last time I drove a car was mid October in Athens, Greece. This time was in Paris, France. What a blast. I get the same experience in a week or so when I return the rental. Talk about needing your head on a swivel. Motorbikes everywhere, passing on either side. Cars squeezing through gaps or creating extra lanes.
Fun stuff.

How did you fit in those ultra tight parking spaces? I couldn't deal with the chaos, especially in Amsterdam with all the speedy and agressive bikers - yow!
