  10. Autostrade Vendors, Lebanon

    We pulled off the Autostrade (coastal highway running along the Mediterranean) to buy some drinks from a small vendor on the roadside...very common along the Autostrade; the main highway in Lebanon.

    They have a bit of everything and are dotted all along the road...just pull over, state your wish, and the owner/worker give you full service...no need to stop the engine or even get out of the car, and super cheap!
