One thing, depending on your destination, those Caribbean islands while flat out on the perimeter have not only steep inclines but wicked turns and mostly no guard rails as you go toward the center- translation = you're going to work. Up the hills is where you want to go because that is where the best views are. Also, the British Isles like Tortola, Bermuda and others the traffic is reversed. Most importantly, of course you wouldn't try it...but, when we were ready to disembark a girl was running around frantically because her boyfriend was being detained by Customs. It seems the drug sniffing dog had detected something in the frame of his bike and she was hyper-ventilating saying "I was advised to get a lawyer." Apparently, he brought home more than the regular St. Thomas kitchen magnet as a souvenir.
