Nervous About Driving in the Turks and Caicos?
Nervous About Driving in the Turks and Caicos?
So when we travel to Provo (Providenciales), we usually think about how much effort it will be to get there, where we’ll stay, where everyone will sleep, but it’s often an afterthought as to how we will get around once we land.
Provo, while a small island (only 23 miles tip to tip), is not so small that you can walk to whatever it is you want to do. In fact, attractions seem to be somewhat peppered about, thus forcing the adventurous tourist, who actually wants to SEE the island he or she has come to visit, to get behind the wheel of a car.
Sounds simple enough, right? Well, maybe not….because on this island, we drive on the LEFT side of the road.
Fun Fact: The Turks and Caicos islands are a British Colony Overseas Colony (1 of 14)! Meaning, they are a territory that is under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom but not technically part of the United Kingdom. They are the remnants of the British Empire.
