An extract:
Thankfully both we and our Nissan Altima Coupe survived the week intact. It took a while to get used to the initially confusing road sign and numbering system, the ability to turn right on a red light and the habitual lethargic pace of traffic on most of the roads.
Only once during the week did I regret not ticking the GPS rental option - when we looked for and unfortunately, and inexplicably, couldn’t find Harpers Ferry, despite repeated frustrating attempts. Fuel in the USA is an amazing 50p per litre but our 2.5litre V6 automatic made every attempt to guzzle as much fuel as it could even at the slow moving pace, often due to the air conditioning necessitated by the 80 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. Washington was a nightmare of one way streets and poor directions. We never did find the well sign posted visitors information centre having circumnavigated its supposed location repeatedly from all possible directions, but only once got caught in the apparently infamous commuter traffic that explodes out of the city every evening at a snails pace.
