Chapter 222: Self-driving trip
In the past two days, Wang Yiyuan, accompanied by Wu Xinghui, has walked all over the famous scenic spots in Los Angeles, but she always feels uncomfortable, and after thinking about the reason, she probably thinks that the two of them are both outdoor sports enthusiasts, but they are like tourists in a group, and they have completed a boring journey of taking landmark photos.
"I really can't figure out why those people want to go with a group, I think traveling with a group is just 'getting in the car to sleep, getting out of the car to take pictures, taking time to pee, asking what you played, you don't know anything', it's really boring. Wang Yiyuan sat on the bed with no interest and looked at the landmark photos taken in the mobile phone before, complaining.
"You can't think of it that way, after all, not everyone has the time to plan a great trip. Rather than spending time and thinking about not achieving the perfect travel effect in the end, it is better to leave it to the tour group to arrange, at least the price is favorable, and you can walk through the most classic attractions without bothering and laboring, although it is just a visit, at least the scenery is also seen. ”
Wang Yiyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be some truth, it was really inappropriate to impose her preferences on others, so she stuck out her tongue and stopped mentioning this topic.
In the afternoon, the two had already booked a car at the car rental agency.
China has not acceded to the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, so in fact it is not possible to apply for an international driver's license, but when traveling abroad, many countries recognize that a Chinese driver's license that can provide a notarized certificate in English can be rented a car.
Some places that are not very strict are willing to rent out the car without even requiring you to show any proof, such as Wang Yiyuan, who has been to an island country in East Africa before, where you only need to pay the rent and a 50 euro deposit when renting a car, fill in the passport number and drive away. At that time, Wang Yiyuan was still very curious and asked the people in the car rental dealer: Aren't you worried that the rental person will not return the car? Who knew that the other party smiled heartily and said: What are you afraid of, there is a sea all around, can you still steal the car?
Of course, the United States, as a country with a history of more than 200 years, has a revised constitution that is dozens of meters thick, and their legal norms are still relatively perfect, so you must provide corresponding documents to rent a car. And not every state recognizes my country's driver's license, but California and Nevada, which are involved in Wang Yiyuan's plan, support it, and that's enough.
Wang Yiyuan had already handled the notarization of her driver's license in China, but now she has Wu Xinghui, who holds a legal driver's license in the United States, which is a lot more convenient.
The two met with Hu Hao and his family again on the Internet, discussed the route, and then packed their luggage and rested early.
Early the next morning, after the two handed back the keys to the innkeeper, they drove into the car to pick up Hu Hao and his family.
The plan for the four was to head along Highway 10 to the Desert-Hills-Premium-Outlets in Cabazon, near Palm Springs, to buy something for family or friends, and then head north along Highway 15 to Las Vegas and spend the night there to experience the nightlife of the famous city that never sleeps.
The Palm Springs (Desert) Outlet is the largest outlet mall in Southern California and is widely regarded as the most beautiful outlet mall in the entire United States.
It wasn't far from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, and it only took just over an hour for the four of them to be surrounded by a dizzying array of big-name discount stores. When they returned to the car with large bags and free suitcases from the outlets, they found that most of the time had passed, and they hurriedly drove to Las Vegas.
