But the GPS said...Alps-bound bus visits the Riviera

Paul Heymont 3/10/1512:20 PM

A couple of weeks ago, we published a News Link about a couple who followed their GPS off the road and into the water...now we've got one about a tour bus driver who set the wrong town on the device.

The driver of the ski-tour bus, organized by a Brussels radio station, set his GPS for La Plagne and hit the road. Only after sighting the sea and sun of the Mediterranean did he and his passengers realize they were 750 miles off course, headed for another town with the same name.

The travelers arrived a day late, but apparently most of them took it in stride. DETAILS
