We got our rental car from the airport, and spent a little time in the parking lot with its tiny parking spaces trying to figure out the car. On a side note, the car parked beside ours was a Panda. Our car does some cool things like auto parking brake, mirrors that swivel themselves in when you leave the car, and windshield wipers that automatically turn on when it starts to rain. There’s also a DVD drive, assumably so you can watch videos on the little screen in the dashboard, and also what looks like a phone function.
We had a GPS that we borrowed from one of my dad’s relatives, but while I was still trying to figure out how it worked, we got a little bit lost just getting out of the airport. The roads were overlapping and strange, and we even managed to accidentally go into an underground parking lot and had to navigate our way out. Oops.
Once we were on the highway, we drove a little way but got stuck in traffic where the police had temporarily blocked off the road. When things cleared, we drove past an accident where a car had completely flipped over, and bags of groceries were scattered at the side of the road---I saw squished onions everywhere.
As we drove on the highway, we passed by stuff too quickly for me to actually get it on camera, but I saw some interesting things like trees with slender branches and puffs of moss or vines hanging from them like something out of Avatar, three large ruined buildings that looked straight out of the Medieval era, and a random little tree by the side of the highway all by itself sporting beautiful pink flowers.
