Just wondering what it is I'm missing about the uk. Oh yes, that's it, potholes! There are great driving roads here and wait for it - smooth tarmac! Another odd thing, it's been in the high 30 s for weeks and none of that tarmac is melting.

Smashing snaps ZV1!

Despite the poor economic climate here in Greece there are still less potholes than in the UK. :whistle:

Re melting roads, surfacing contractors use a high penetration (stiffer) bitumen in most Med countries that makes it capable of withstanding surface temps of 40-50c without melting or deforming.:cool:
 
Can't beat a good pothole to stop you falling asleep behind the wheel.
 
I'm off to France then Spain this evening - hoping it might be a bit cooler!!;)
 
Speaking of pot holes me and Shirl found some craters on Sunday but already found a work around for them.

We're off to Turkey tonight. If you see a pothole it means your on an actual road not a dust track!
 
@Synclare we do live in the uk now, just been staying in our old house here since May. Setting off back tomorrow.
Of course I know the tarmac here and in other hot countries is made to suit the temperatures.Pity ours falls apart when it's frosty and melts as soon as the sun comes out.
