Today a group of 10 of us headed off to Charlotte on our first weekend away! Nik and I drove down in our rental car and gave Sally a lift. The journey took around 3 and 1/2 hours but in England would only have taken around 2 hours! Driving over here is very frustrating - speed limits are typically 35 or 45 mph occasionally you may be allowed to reach 55mph on what we would call our dual carriage ways. Nik even screamed when she saw the very first 70mph sign we've seen since being here - that limit didn't last for long before we were back down to 45 again! Arriving at the hotel was an experience, you certainly get what you pay for - what a dive!!! Went exploring and found a shopping mall in Charlotte before eating out and then calling at a garage near the hotel for water before going to bed - talk about your face certainly not fitting in the area! Scary!
