Hey again, D.C ended with a bit of an anticlimax. After our earlier exploits seeing lots of things we got stuck inside due to hurricane Sandy. Which in DC amounted to a rainy day, not far off what you would expect from an English summer. On the Tuesday it had calmed down a bit so we ventured outside however everything was still closed off so after a short walked we wandered back to the hostel to prepare to leave DC the following day.

Here paul once again proved his skills in navigation. Having taken the subway to the bridge we soon discovered that not only was the stop he had gotten us off at not e...

Started the day walking round time square and eventually meandered our way past the rockafella building, central station and some other interesting buildings I didn't know what they were ,and finally ended up at the empire state building. Rather impressive if I may say so. Great views and even the inside looks great, lots of art Deco and wotnot. After this we continued on our way walkin...
