A virtual parking lot
Just as Jurgen was winding down we started slowing down. Then we stopped completely. Traffic was at a standstill. This is when we got our first glimpse at the skills of our driver, Salvatore. Somehow he got our huge bus through the traffic and off at the next exit. He found a road paralleling the Autostrada. After maybe 15 minutes of driving, checking his GPS and jabbering on his cell phone all at the same time, he brought us back on the A4 somewhere past Bergamo. As we entered the highway we could see a two car accident blocking the road. All the drivers stuck behind it were out of their cars yakking on their cell phones or conversing with the other drivers.
