I would have been tempted to get out and walk. I have come across some bad roads and plank bridges traveling in Taiwan and the U.S., but nothing even comes close to those roads and landslides in Indonesia. Mountain driving in general is a nightmare--I am getting slightly car-sick just thinking about it!<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
