Driving in Rio de Janeiro
We rented a car to drive to Buzios from Rio. Warning: driving in Rio is not for the faint of heart! Once you get across the bridge to Niteroi, the driving conditions improve, and once you get out the other side of Niteroi, it is downright pleasant. But driving in the city is chaotic, with little attention to lanes, lots of beeping horns, and suicidal motorbikers and pedestrians crossing your path. The highways out in the country can be nerveracking at night, as they go right through the middle of the small towns, and many pedestrians are trying to cross in the dark. Yikes!
