Driving can be one of the most exciting day to day activities for the average person, but no matter what vehicle you’re driving or how skilled your technique is, there are some roads that you just have to wonder who is actually skilled enough to travel them. Taking a look at the following list will give you a good idea of whether your skilled enough to drive it or perhaps rich enough to make it safer for the rest of us.

  1. North Yungas Road, aka “Road of Death”, Bolivia: This road cuts through the Bolivian Andes, running almost 70 km from La Paz to Coroico. It travels nearly 3,600 meters down and is comprised almost entirely of narrow hairpin curves. Unfortunately, their is no safety net below off the side of the road, and as you can see from the picture, the drop is quite severe. While you’re smart enough to read about this road before attempting to travel it, between 100-200 people a year over estimate their driving abilities, leading to their unfortunate death. Constructed in the 1930′s by Paraguayan prisoners, it would be easy to assume that they built it to be this treacherous on purpose. North Yungas Road is most frequently traveled by trucks and busses, which makes it’s span of merely three meters wide almost as terrifying as looking out the window when on it. If you still don’t fear the “Road of Death” be warned, these conditions are only what you would experience in the dry season. Let’s hope you don’t get stuck there in the rain.

Flowers photo from Molly

The following post seem to have no connection to the theme of my blog but only from the first sight. Friendship and travelling, the connection is really vague, isn’t it? But, this post was born because of  my inattention, these photos are 5 months old and I paid attention to them only today. Why? Because I was searching for my old test and it reminded me how it is wonderful to have a friend and to travel to foreign countries, to be alone there and to spend the rest of your money onto a single telephone call to your friend. Thousands of miles lie between us, but her voice makes me feel alive and extremely happy.

Recently, representatives of a popular hotels chain Travelodge reported, that very soon they will amaze the world with their new type of hotel, even motel.

This kind of hotel has no analogues. It will be called Travelpod. So, each pod is a polycarbonate glass box, that contains the whole accommodations of a normal hotel.

Designers and creators of this new type of a permanent living consider it to be a real breakthrough in a hotel industry. Such mobile hotels will be of great popularity among those, who are adore visiting various outdoor events and feel themselves comfortable, while being at the music festival, for example. Manufacturers believe that these hotels are going to make a success and find their own place on the market. It is going to be a perfect alternative to a sleeping bag or a tent – at the same time you are among the nature and separated from such its disadvantages, as: insects, noises, harsh winds and unpleasant smells.

Some people don’t think, that there will be a lot of people, ready to rent it, but not so far, one woman had rented 20 mobile hotels in order to celebrate her daughters wedding (namely to locate guests there). They are completely transparent, you can see the world around you and nothing will disturb you…
