It's not like I'm all that great with directions or anything, but I'd like to think I could do better than this:

Two Swedes expecting the golden beaches of the Italian island of Capri got a shock when tourist officials told them they were 650 km (400 miles) off course in the northern town of Carpi, after mistyping the name in their GPS.

"It's hard to understand how they managed it. I mean, Capri is an island," said Giovanni Medici, a spokesman for Carpi regional government, told Reuters Tuesday. "It's the first time something like this has happened."

The middle-aged couple, who were not identified, only discovered their error when they asked staff in the local tourist office Saturday how to drive to the island's famous "Blue Grotto."

That's right. Not only were they 400 miles or so away from where they were supposed to be, not only did they fail to realize that they'd made a spelling mistake on their GPS device that sent them to the wrong place once they got there, they also failed to realize that they were on the mainland, and not on an island.

I've taken a wrong turn or two in my day, but that's fucking ridiculous. Stupid Scandis.
