Back on Friday we got up, had a nice breakfast at Big Daddy´s and decided to explore yet another part of NYC: Queens. Even if it involved a lot of walking around, we didn´t regret this decision at no point. For those of you who know or like the TV show "The King of Queens", the following spots could be familiar:-)
The following morning at about 8 am we finally set out for a rather big trip- NYC--> Philadelphia--> Washington D.C. --> NYC in 36 hrs.
To make a long story short. The trip was simply amazing. Philly is a nice city with lots of places of historical interest: Liberty Hall with its Liberty Bell, just to name the most important.
After just 5 hrs in Philly we caught the next Greyhound to Washington D.C. (stops in Wilmigton, Baltimore, White Springs) and after a 4 h ride we fortunately found a Motel instantly, ordered a Pizza and some Buffalo Wings and swithced on the TV just in time to watch the triumphs of Michael Phelps and the hilarious 100 m world record of the "Lightning Bolt".
If I wanted to accurately desribe the unforgettable impressions we got from Americas capital, that would definitively take too long so I´m keeping it short. We´ve probably seen all the famous sites (The White House, the Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, FBI Building etc.), including the Archives which house the Declaration of Independence (signed in Liberty Hall in Philly), the Magna Charta, the Bill of Rights and the original Constitution.
Totally exhausted but still happy we boarded the bus back to NYC at about 5 pm and after a five hour ride we finally got back to where we started from.
