One additional note..... Im Italian.

Aaah you see THAT explains it...... you obviously also consider an indicator as an optional extra, a red robot/ traffic light as a suggestion only and your hooter as an extention of a certain part of the male antomy.......... No wonder you find driving in BA no big deal.

By the way I grew up driving in Afrika with pot holes Mt Everst could be sunk in and fellow drivers who never saw a driving school from the inside driving vehicals that don't even diserve the name. Watch the documentary and the commentary leading up to the World Cup. You will see things like 8 seater Hi Ace buses with 30 or more passengers in there....in fact they recently stop a 20 seater and off loaded 110 passengers (don't ask me how) You can ask one of these drivers about thier breaks and he will show you a hole in the chassis where the break pedal should be and he will tell you without blushing that her stops with his foot. The door is "closed" with a piece of wire, rear view mirrors don't exsist amoungs a whole list of other unbelieveable, head shaking and plain cringing other examples.

No I think I will be paying a driver in BA - hey I am on vacation and he needs a job.

That explains a lot.

Wise move at least they'll know the way. The signage here tends to give you about 2 seconds notice when to turn.

Ah...... may I use the same above logic to link Scotland to RSJ lovers...????

You might if I had a clue what RSJ is?

Reserva San Juan.......

I get it now. ^

Finally !!!!!!!

I know.......think the RSJ has pickled my brain.

Told you so.....

We had read these sentiments before last year's trip to Bariloche, where we planned to do some hiking. Fortunately, we decided it would be impractical to get to the various hiking trails without a car, so we rented. No problems at all.Incomparably easier and safer than my daily commute. The car we rented already had lots of scratches so was perfect for the many long gravel roads we had to traverse. The rental agent met us at the airport, and took us back when we left. Even got a discount for cash once we returned the car with no new damage. Only negative, prices rather high for a rather used car.

Having a car enabled us to travel to many beautiful areas that would have been impracticable otherwise.

Indeed.....it's very useful to have a car at your disposal especially down Bariloche way. Most of Argentina is a dream to drive in. Given it's size and population you don't have to go far out of the main populated areas to experience traffic free roads.
My main gripes are the autopistas in Buenos Aires and the busy two lane roads outside of the capital where overtaking can be a nightmare....and I'm only speaking as a passenger.
In town roads can be a nightmare as well where cyclists and motor cyclists seem to have a death wish.

Hiddy.... next time you are in town, let me know and I will take you for a spin as a co-pilot in my modified Golf GTi..... lets see how your bowel retention systems are working....

No way.....although it's probably a great deal safer than trying to walk across Ave Libertador.

WUUUSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



and here I am thinking that Scotsmen were brave warriors, etc. etc.
