I had set my alarm which refused to work so I woke at 7.50 which was when I was planning to be on the metro. Tahnkfully I had packed so through my last bits in the case, stripped the bed and ran. i ran though Union Station and managed to get there in time. The bus was packed so I sat next to a good looking guy (it was that or the toilet). Unfortunately I still had my PJ bottoms on (under my trackies but was still a surprise when I went to the toilet to find I was still wearing them), morning breath,no make up, black eyes and a mass of hair so hardly looked at the guy as I felt as bad as I looked at this point.I had a ginger biscuit to help ... read more

There are not as many people always walking about as New York and the traffic is definately not as bad. I got the metro which is opposite the hostel about 9 and then upto metro centre. I walked a couple of blocks in the rain to the White House. It was amazing to see. Lafette Park was infront so had a quick walk round, it was tiny there were mainly 5 statues of heros. I then wandered down to the Capitol Monument. It was great to see but basically a tower. Got very confused with where the National Mall was and still don't understand where it went. I walked to the World War II memorial which was amazing. There were lots of war veterans there and it was stunning to go to. Behing it was constitution ... read more

A very slow start to the morning but met Alex and walked through Central Park, we sat by the lake for a while and walked through a part neither of us had been. We headed back early and stayed until Alex left. Then I met Eugenio and his Argentinian friend Maria and we chatted for a while and then we went to sleep and get ready for happy hour as it was my last night. Whilst in my room I started talking to an Aussie girl called Michelle Day. We chatted a while and got a slice for dinner and then met the others for drinks. We walked to the bar but it was full so walked up to the next bar played pool-of course Michelle and I lost,we nearly won the second game but we ... read more

After a slow start I wondered through Central Park and saw a local baseball game,which was good to watch but baseball is not the most interesting game ever its very slow. After getting lost in Central Park I finally found the way out and wondered down to the Guggenhiem Museum but the queue was pretty big so didn't go in but I will do at some point before I leave. I had a craving for a hot dog so got 2 hot dogs on the street which were amazing although I felt a bit ill after eating them. I wondered down fifth Avenue and then onto Madison Avenue and found Christian Laboutin,Caroline herrera and several other top designers. It was very cold so I tried to find a cafe but that proved hard but I eventually ... read more
