The best laugh.....
Driving from Menaggio, Italy to Lugano, Switzerland on the tiny 1.5 lane roads and coming upon the start of a 5km back up. The cause....a station wagon from the Netherlands trying to pull a catamaran with mere inches to spare. We pulled into a sideroad so we could get around him. Not sure what the poor bugger was thinking. Then, as we got around him.....Beeeep. Beeeeeep. Beeeeeeep. And the horns were blaring!
