This evening marked my first foray into the land of left-side driving. It's only slightly nerve wracking. What's most painful is the orientation of the driver's controls: the signal level is on the right side of the steering wheel, and the wiper control arm is on the left.

Other than that, getting lost for an hour in the backwaters of Port of Spain was completely exciting! Imagine it: dodging stray(?) dogs, people, cars, potholes, 6 inch shoulder drop-offs, people, "zebra crossings*", cars on the wrong side of the road (not me), dealing with absurdly complex roundabouts and veering into neighborhoods where I felt none too comfortable... let's just say I cancelled my BASE jump for tomorrow.

At any rate, the Hilton here is quite nice.

*zebra crossing is what they post on the signage before a crosswalk. I imagine it has something to do with the zigzag lines and asphalt black / paint white stripes.
