Titanic Nominations
1. Worst Toilet At a monastery in Mount Athos, Greece. Pilgrims may do all the righteous things in religious matters but their loo behavior on this particular saint’s day was disgusting.
2. Worst City for Driving There are lots of obvious candidates, topped perhaps by Indian cities, but the one city I would have expected to be civilized was among the most anarchic – Buenos Aires.
3. Worst Camping Spot In the middle of Dartmoor, in January, bathed in a blizzard. It was my choice – I was walking the Two Moors Way – but the memory still makes me shiver.
4. Worst Ride on an Animal I’m never happy on anything with four legs but would have preferred a bucking rodeo bronco to that stroppy camel at the Giza pyramids.
5. Worst Beer The fermented hooch in Peru’s Andean villages.
