[向Key West出發] Day 2 - Norfolk, VA

第二天早上起來後去Target買了一台Garmin GPS
雖然帶了一些地圖,但是之前朋友建議有GPS裝置會比較有保障,也減少迷路的機會。
離開Maryland的時候已經快10:30am
今天主要行程是走Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel 和 Norfolk, VA

從Maryland開3個多小時到達Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel的開端,
它全長17.8mil,被列為 one of the 10 longest bridges in the world, 橋的兩邊是一望無際的Atlantic Ocean。 除了是橋以外,特別的地方是它也有隧道。在橋上開了10mil後,車就開始下坡,進入海裡面的隧道,感覺很像奇妙, 在隧道裡開一陣子後,車子又開始往上了跑回去橋上了。真的很敬佩建橋的人呢。




(結果開了20min才到海的另一面)

到達Norfolk已經是下午4:30pm
跑到有名的Nauticus Museum去看Battleship Wisconsin
可是museum 5pm就關了
只好在外面拍拍照



因為來到Norfolk已經有點晚
也沒辦法去Historical city Williamsburg去看看
只好早點結束今天的行程,回旅館休息

明天要到Wilmington, NC 和 Charleston, SC
時間很緊湊,希望可以多看點東西

Wow, tax is 11.15%?!?!?! Never heard of that before! Oh my! You sure you saw it correctly? 哈哈哈~
太不可思議了!

哈哈,5pm就回旅館了... why didn't you go and visit the town then? not interesting enough?

Wow, thanks for posting these wonderful pics and interesting info! Some of us may never have a chance to do what you're doing now, so it's great to have you share it with us. Thank you!
