The Alps

... were beautiful and apparently not deadly.

To my fellow carsickness-suffers:
Before traveling through the Alps there are a few things one should take into consideration.

• High altitude
• Winding roads
• Tunnels

... all of which (at least personally) induce nausea. I suggest Dramamine (the less drowsy formula should still knock you out or at least help you make it through tunnels, one of which is 17 kilometers long with endless lights passing at warp-speed... I get a little sick just thinking about it). The only thing I've found to be worse than the above mentioned agitators are stick shifts and roundabouts... together, they're fatal (at least for your cars upholstery).
