Wilson's blog post was featuredI Drove in Lima Peru and Survived
We drove into northern Lima in mid afternoon; chaos, confusion and traffic, worse than Cairo, greeted us. Yes, it is true driving in Lima is worse than driving in Cairo. Beaten up cars, trucks and buses compete for space and it seems the driver with the biggest bull bar wins. No one it seems uses indicators, indicators are for woosies, instead they hang their arms out the window and a flick of the wrist indicates they are about to change direction, it is anyone’s guess as to where, brakes are…See More
