I guess the car wash is a special feature of Nepal. We didn't have that in Greece. *NM*

More than a decade ago (2000) my wife, daughter and I drove around the Peloponnisos in Greece (seeing Mecina, Malavasia, Sparta, Tripoli and Olympia). The roads to and from Olympia were especially treacherous, curvy and carved into mountain slopes. They had no guard rails, just occasional make shift alters to those that had gone over the edge. The most treacherous part of the drive was from Olympia east up into the mountains to Stemnitsa (you can Google these places to see where they are). At the time it was dusk my wife was in fear of her life, as we would look down thousands of feet from the narrow dirt road we were on, I think that you could characterize her communication to me at the time as screaming.

Tonight my wife forwarded this video of a bus ride in the Himalayas that reminded her of that road in Greece. Link: Himalayas Bus Ride. The difference is we were on our own in a rental car and it was getting dark.

I thought I would share. It is not like the driving around the Blue Ridge.

Our driving route in Greece with Greek spellings of the locations.

Charley and I were on our honeymoon in St. Croix. We rented a jeep for the week. There are some very steep mountains and rough terrain on the West side of the island... we were just exploring and ran out of road with pretty much no way out. He ended up being able to turn us around, but it was very nerve-wracking looking down the side of the mountain. It's the first and only time I think I've seen my husband nervous!

I agree. Almost makes the Blue Ridge look like an Interstate highway.

I wonder how long it took the engineers to build that car wash into the roadway.

Happy Boxstering,
