After New York I was off to the capital Washington DC. Mega bused it down which was ok actually wifi and nice views. Apart from I had miss america next to me with her Starbuck's, laptop. iPhone and bags that she couldn't possibly stow the the luggage compartment. Then her phone was . . . Like totally dying! So faffed about trying to plug it in so leaning over me to get the socket. She was a little annoying to say the least!
Anywho this hostel was dead easy to find and so much better than my first one. Organised, clean and helpful staff. There was an Aussie guy on the desk who knew about Bolton wanderers.
Even called them the trotters!
So literally spent 30 mins in the hostel before heading out downtown to the smithsonian and monuments.
on had a few hours so only went in a couple of the museums; natural history and the flight and air space museum. Really enjoyed it much better than ones in NYC.
Enjoyable for adults and interactive for children. Really worth a visit.
Once the museums closed I went up to the White house which, I must admit, was impressive. Massive I suppose like Buckingham castle so I wonder who else lives there and what do they do!!
From there walk all the way to the other side to the Lincoln memorial and the war memorials. Which are again impressive. I'm discovering that the thing Americans can do well is museums and monuments. Took a load of pics and then headed back to the hostel - it was dark by the time I got back and my legs were killing lol
Wished I'd stayed more in DC now but had to move on the next day
