One reason to distrust certain online maps...

Specifically those at mappoint.msn.com

You heard the joke about "a camel is a horse made by committee"? Well that committee made this map, too. Try this, and see the route it tells you to take...(look at the map)

That's awesome! Who knew that the best approach to getting from one part of Norway to another was to go first pass through the UK, then France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden? Thank you, MSN!

Once I went from London to Zell-am-See, Austria like this:
Sleep in Gatwick Airport, at times crying.
Train to ferry.
Ferry to Holland.
Train down through Holland, Germany and Austria.
Get to Zell-am-See.

27 hours of travel it took me. Ah, to be young and stupid.
