If you get motion sickness, be sure to sit in the front seat or take Dramamine, because the last half of the 2 ½-hour ride gets hairy. If you’re afraid of heights – close your eyes. However, doing that is a huge mistake, because these narrow roads at an elevation of 1000 feet (without guardrails) have some of the best
views I’ve ever seen. I think the vistas rival Zermatt, Switzerland (here’s the
link) -- and that’s saying a lot. Just look at the
pictures we snapped when we pulled off to the side of the road! Nearby lived a friendly elderly
lady who insisted that we sample her grapes (it was harvest time, and the entire side of her house had
bins full of red and green grapes). Oooh, were they good -- and walking on the street right afterward, everything felt so alive. The sun was shining, the bees were buzzing, and the grapes were ready to be crushed. I couldn’t wait to start picking those bad boys myself.
