“You’ve not driven on the motorway before?” I ask, incredulous.
He shrugs his shoulders as another car flies past and veers back in front of him. “They don’t have any in Northern Ireland.”
We’ve just hired a car from Travellers Autobarn to drive the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Richard, as the only male, agreed to do the first leg of the trip, keeping his motorway virgin status to himself. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
