The Two P's
... over the edge before careering around the corner. At times our bus either stopped or reversed to allow a bus coming from the other direction to pass us by, with only inches to spare. The Italian tradition of parking anywhere did not help the nerves.The scenery was spectacular if you were game to look. At one stage Karen was heard to say "I don't want to die"and it was at that point we still had ten kilometres to go. As you can see we made it, although quite a ...
