I'm very sorry but somehow I never saw your post from a few months ago. Lol. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics as it was night time and pitch black! In any case, I would highly recommend this journey to anyone if you have the opportunity of traveling to the Big Island.

On a side note, I totally forgot about this thread.

Place Charles de Gaulle (Paris) is.....interesting

Still nothing compared to cities in Afrika, but I wouldn't drive there. Taking a taxi is excitement enough over there (places like Cairo are on another level....)

LA and DC are both pretty comparable. Which is worse ehh hard or me to say - both can suck and both pretty comparable.

That said I feel like this thread needs two types of answers:

Most annoying / worse traffic - LA / D.C. sort o tie for me.

Most stressful: Florence Italy. Getting out of town was stressful - much worse than the tiny wine country roads...

A back road of the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. Reminded me of logging roads back home in WA state. Drop offs on both sides in places. Same gravel towards the end where our cabin was.

Bangalore, India. And I wasn't driving but riding in a taxi. Cows and people on the road, oncoming traffic in your lane, potholes. Forget driving - I couldn't even cross the street. They only stop if a pedestrian is directly in the way. So you have to believe in Karma to even cross the street. Step into the traffic and force them to stop.

LOL I know what you mean. I rode taxis in Chennai, India and it was a cluster. No way I'd want to drive myself.
