Thanks, glad you like it. We also rented a car for the entire road-trip. Back in the those days they probably did not have the toll-pass things... we did not know about it and luckily did not get any fines! ;)
Here in South Africa we also drive in on the left side of the road, so it is easy for us. :)
I wish... not a full-time traveler but I've traveled a lot and travel whenever I can. My wife travels often for research and I take the opportunities to go with and run some mountains. Win-win. ;)
