第六天,早上9:30分从酒店出发,沿395 North去五角大楼,5分钟的路就到了,可惜下不去高速无法停车,绕了半天好不容易下了高速却找不到五角大楼的影子了,最后只好看着指示牌去了Arlington的Visitor Center,服务员告诉我们五角大楼已经不让靠近参观了,只能在周围的路上开车看看,所以没有地方让我们靠近Parking,看来911对它的打击到现在还没有消除,本来想看看那个被飞机撞坏的一角什么样,可惜没看到.耽误了大概一个小时后只好继续前往华盛顿,过了桥只有5分钟的路就到了,非常近.华盛顿的主要参观地在Independence Av和Constitution Av之间,以14街的华盛顿纪念杯为中心,东面议会大厦和西面林肯纪念堂为边界的范围之内.我们去的比较晚,而且是周末,马路两边的免费停车位早就满了.我们只好从14街开始一条街一条街的找位置,最后还算不错,在位于第6街和C街的位置找到了一个地下停车场,全天到晚上8:00PM,$10. 这个地方位于长方形旅游圈的最东边,离议会大厦非常近.我们就决定由东往西参观,先看室外的在看室内的,出了停车场向北走到Maryland Av.,再向东北方向走5分钟就到了议会大厦,这个无数次出现在好来坞电影屏幕中的美国标志型建筑就映现在我们眼前,一圈圆圆的大石柱子和巨大的球形屋顶非常壮观.  由于下着小雨,我们没有在这里停留太久,就准备去看白宫,虽然这里离白宫不是很远,但是我们想看一下华盛顿的地铁什么样就决定座地铁去.令人欣慰的是这里的地铁比纽约好多了,有升降梯,里面也宽敞许多,5分钟就走到了西南方的Federal Center sw地铁站,  从这里向东座三站到Federal Triangle站出来,向西北方向走5分钟就是著名的白宫了,路上的行人,  白宫周围戒备森严,有很多警察,根本不让靠近,只能远远的隔着铁栏杆往里看, 没有想象中的豪华.远远的躲在树丛中,象是做了坏事的孩子.  离开白宫,向南走到Constitution Av,左转向东路过历史博物馆(没进去,一是时间有限,二是美国的历史跟我们没关系,三是以后孩子可以在书中学到),然后走到自然博物馆,这个馆是一定要进的,里面有很多自然生物,师子,老虎,孔龙化石等等,可以让孩子增加不少对大自然的认识.      在这里参观了两个小时,出来后向南穿过绿地再向左到达Independence Av上的航天航空博物馆,门口检查的挺严,写着不让带Drink和Food, 但是水还是让带的.里面都是些飞机,航天飞船,火箭的模型,有些是真的,孩子很喜欢也很好奇的问这问那.其中阿波罗的回收仓和火星探测器的地面试验模型很吸引人.       在航天航空博物馆参观了1个半小时出来,然后向西走3,4百米到达华盛顿纪念杯.一个169米高的大石住子,1848年开工,由于资金短缺和Civil War的影响,到1884年才完工,当时是世界上最高的建筑.   继续向西行100米左右是二战纪念杯.   然后是林肯纪念堂,   越战纪念杯,上面全是死难者的名字.   韩战纪念碑,   看完这些地方已经傍晚了, 夕阳下的华盛顿纪念碑,  夜幕降临前的林肯纪念堂.  经过一天的奔波,肚子早都咕咕叫了,接下来当然是要去唐人街吃晚饭了,由于唐人街位于北边的H街和第7街的交界处,有点远,所以我们返回第6街的停车场取了车,然后开往唐人街,在那里转了20分钟找到车位,周六路边免费停车.因为大家都很饿,停好车立即找餐馆,也来不及问人就进了一家东江酒家,门口有现场做拉面的,里面座满了洋鬼子,看来不错,就毫不犹豫的走了进去.点了一碗拉面,一盘海鲜和一盘鸡,牛,猪肉杂盘,这次真的让人失望,所有食物都非常难吃,花了35刀没吃完就走了.  回酒店的路也很不顺利,路标非常差,我们是开395 North来的,想走395 South回去,可是怎么也找不到,转了半个多小时,最后只好上了495,没想到一上去却看见了395的牌子,真是歪打歪撞回到了酒店.这一天非常的累,走的路非常多,跟纽约不相上下. 第七天,这一天主要是赶路返回多伦多,中途去一下宾洲的Penns Cave, 由于前一天太累了,大家都起不来,10点多才醒,收拾完退房上路已经11点了,没想到395 North上根本找不到地图上标的295 North去Baltimore,直接进了华盛顿Downtown, 路很乱,上高速的牌子也及不清晰,转了近一个小时也没找到395或者295 North,最后只好上了95 North 北上,到了Baltimore转83 North, 大概120公里到达Harrisburg,然后转322 North北上130公里到达Potters Mills, 右转上144 East, 大概7公里左右到达Center Hall, 再右转上192 East, 8公里左右到达Penns Cave, 从华盛顿到Cave总共350公里, 下午4点到达,座4:15分的船看溶洞,往返50分钟左右,船不大,能座10几个人,孩子抱在身上没问题,船票17刀一张,里面的钟乳石经过上千年的洗刷,形成各种不同的形状,颜色,彩灯打在上面非常好看.   一个象自由女神的钟乳石:  这个象猪蹄:  出来了.    要走了,依依不舍,  要回家了.  从Cave里出来已经6:00PM了,上了车迅速往回赶, 沿192 West, 右转上144 North, 再转26 East,然后是220 East, 这几段路都非常的短,在溶洞拿的Local地图上就有标记, 最后上80 West, 这一段比较长,大概有个6,70公里,然后右转上153 North, 不远153到了尽头转219 North, 一路向北200多公里到达水牛城附近上90 North,再转190 North, 看路标就可以直接到达美加边境的Fort Erie海关,这时大概晚上10点钟左右,检查人员问了有没有买什么东西,说买了些衣服100多刀(在美国旅游两天以上有200刀的免税额),当然相机的事是不会提的,然后又问了有没有带烟酒,回答没有,就顺利的过关了,那家伙连门楼都没出.进入加国后,交了点过桥费,上QEW一路狂奔返回多伦多,到家12:00整. 7天的旅游结束了, 终于可以放松一下紧张的心情了. 总结: 这7天旅游总的来说是比较成功的,该去的都去了,时间安排的很紧凑,虽然有的时候紧张一点,但还是够用.也没有太赶,大人孩子都玩的很开心.美国大城市的生活节奏比加拿大快的多,开车非常猛,人也不大热情.中小城市跟多伦多差不多,节奏比较慢,生活也相对悠闲一点,乡村跟加拿大几乎没什么区别.另外美国的收费公路不是很多,而且非常便宜,所以我基本上没有提到. 内衣要多带,基本上一天一换, Cooler也可以带,酒店里都有冰,每到一个地方放一些冰到Cooler里就行了. 7天全程的行车距离是2,487公里,油耗不详,加了3次油, 100刀多一点, 出来时油箱是满的. 住宿6个晚上580刀, 吃饭加零食200刀, 门票,地铁票,停车费200刀, 购物可多可少, 一般就算个200刀吧, 总共花费 $1200美刀左右. 最后希望我的游记对将要去美东旅游的朋友有所帮助. ~完~ |

驾车美东8日游记(Oct.3-10)
Destination:Boston, New York city, Philadelphia, Atlantic city, Baltimore, Washington DC. Before we go, I suggest you guys going to library to lend series book: DORLING KINDERSLEY TRAVEL GUIDES(available in library or bookstore) Such as : Washington DC, New York city, Boston, etc. It provides detailed practical information and expert recommendations. Introducing city, MAPS AND REGION, sets it in its historical mand cultural context, and gives an overview of the main attractions. It's really helpful!!! Go to CAA pick up related maps:Connecticut state, Mass., New York state, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island state, Delware state, Maryland ,New Jersey, West Virginia. Cities: Boston, New york city, Washington DC( 100% AVAILABLE) Book hotel (ASAP early, you'd get better rate): Sheraton hotel and Holiday Inn. Recommend close to city. In New York, we try family hotel. Total fees for 7 days sleeping: US$ 370 FOR couples( 2 persons room). Sorry I do not know how to input chinese. Details to be continued |
