The roads in the countryside can be absolutely nerve-wracking. They are really too narrow for two cars but that isn’t the worst problem. The problem for us was the speed limit. 60 mph! That is about 100 km.The turns and hills mean the possibility of meeting someone was a constant threat. There was rarely a place to pull over and the sides of the road were often rough or there were bushes or occasionally stone walls on the perimeter.
Round abouts are everywhere. Every little country road which joins a larger road does so with a round about. Signs and our GPS told us which exit to use. We learned to count out loud. "Okay, that’s one, that’s two, turn turn!!" Everything calmed down as time went on but we both started preferring the big motorways.
