1 From Cape Town (South Africa) to Cairo (Egypt)
The adventure with a capital A. Allow at least ten weeks for this African odyssey. From the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, get ready to cross 11 countries. A journey marked by splendid stops. In addition to Victoria, Mount Kilimanjaro and the Nubian desert, equipped with the world's highest dunes falls, you will also admire the African wildlife in all its diversity. One caveat: the roads are in a terrible state and some parts are not recommended.

2 Coast Highland (Scotland)
Strikingly beautiful, the west coast of Scotland is fringed with single-lane roads. Go south, known for its deep fjords and glacial valleys bathed by the sea, and up towards the central plain, backed by majestic mountains, to reach the heights overlooking the wilds of the north. A magnificent course, dotted with castles and perfect little villages to pause - or enjoy a glass of whiskey at the end of a long day driving.
The website of the National Trust of Scotland ( www.nts.org.uk ) Includes a very useful tool for identifying sites and monuments not to be missed (in "visits") card.
3 Amsterdam to Istanbul
It is never that 2200 km as the crow flies, but it's a lot more drive. Everything depends on how many countries you choose to visit along the way. You should at least go through the Germany , the Czech Republic , the Slovak Republic , the Hungarian , the Romania and Bulgaria before reaching Turkey . Prepare to juggle a highway code to another, and to adapt to the varying quality of the road.
When you finally arrive in Istanbul, treat yourself to one or two nights at the Hotel Arena ( www.arenahotel.com ).
4 From Delhi to Agra (India)
If you feel the courage to face the demented side of Indian roads, this tour is for you. To enjoy the journey quietly sitting in the back seat, hire the services of a chauffeur. 240 km separate the capital - chaotic megalopolis of 12.8 million - Agra, in the Southeast, where stands the magnificent Taj Mahal.

Switch seamlessly clean consumerism in the metropolis hippies established communities further north. Queensland towns recall the atmosphere of Las Vegas, but the state is mainly characterized by its beautiful tropical coastline. The excellent quality of the roads used to devour the miles without asking any questions.
The ultrakitsch sculptures that stand at long along the road are affectionately nicknamed "Big Things."

6 The Cabot Trail in Cape Breton (Canada)
The Cabot Trail (298 km long) forms a loop that runs through the north of the island of Cape Breton, near the east coast of Canada , Nova Scotia. Opportunities to stretch your legs are numerous: the road runs along the National Park Highlands of Cape Breton, where the hiking possibilities abound. The whale watching is an outage in the area hobby, do not forget your binoculars. The Cabot Trail is an easy road, dotted with villages.

Southern Route 7 (Chile)
The Southern Route, one of the world's most extreme, through the Patagonia about 1240 km, between Puerto Montt and Villa O'Higgins. Rarely paved it hugs sublime landscapes made of primary forests, glaciers, pioneer homesteads, turquoise rivers and Pacific waves that come crashing on the coast. Although it is often a succession of ruts and pot-holes, this legendary road yet attracts travelers who cross paths usually no signs marking out. Prudence and foresight highways are in order, because trucks make up the bulk of traffic and weather sometimes make the road almost impassable.
Better from the summer (December to March). Outside this season, the ferries are rare and harsh climates.
8 Amalfi Coast (Italy)
50 km between Sorrento and Salerno, the splendid scenery of the Amalfi Coast irresistibly attract the eye - one almost forgets to watch the road. The narrow asphalt strip along the cliffs bathed the feet of crystal clear waters and through the beautiful towns of Positano and Amalfi. Driving along this coast is sometimes challenging, bus drivers tend to casually negotiate the hairpin turns. In summer, the road is one long traffic jam, giving plenty of time to admire the scenery.
Visit the region between June and August to enjoy the festivities in coastal villages. Details of dates and locations on the site www.amalficoastweb.com .
9 From Cape Town to Hermanus (South Africa)
Charming coastal villages and some beautiful natural attractions along the southern coast of the country. After exploring the bedecked Cape Town and the surrounding beaches and vineyards, head east along False Bay. Take your time to browse through the 122 km that separate you from Hermanus nature reserves that dot the route home to wetlands (frequented by hippos) and extensive beaches worthy of prolonged halts. Once in Hermanus, you can watch whales that cross off between June and November.
A fish market is held every Sunday (at 8:30 am) in Hermanus. Check the detailed activities and places to stay on www.hermanus.co.za .
10 Route 66 (united states)
Route 66 remains a myth. Stretching over 4000 km between Chicago and California, it passes through Kansas, Texas and Arizona. A journey to live at the wheel of an old Pontiac or Chevrolet, as in the big time. You do not cut burgers and fries, the pie-and sodas served in paper cups. Main Street USA or Mother Road, as it is affectionately known, may well be replaced portion after portion, for highways brand new , his legend is about to expire.
According to the National Historic Route 66 Federation ( www.national66.org ), Which works to preserve this decommissioned road, about 85% of the original road still exist.
