Día 14
The Bronx
13 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Today we travelled to the Bronx and went to the zoo, believe it or not!! Arriving at the gate we were confronted by around 100 school buses and hundreds of kids - just our luck but the zoo is over 200 acres and we hardly saw the kids, 😊 The zoo was great, we did an enormous amount of walking, also taking the monorail for a short time. Good to get home and put our feet up. Julie and I have become adept at going out to the local grocery store for provisions.Leer más

Wet New York
14 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Yesterday was one of those days, caught up on sleep then decided to get out of our cramped quarters, out into a very wet & windy day, even had my umbrella turn inside out. Very cold too. Thank goodness for Starbucks on every second corner. The four of us made an executive decision to go back home. Julie and Mark ventured again and bought provisions and the most needed pack of cards, pity they did that really as they anhilated Mike & I at 500.Leer más

Temperature change, thank goodness. Arrived at union Station to sunshine, short 10 min walk uphill to our 'luxury' airbnb. What a contrast to New York, our accommodation is great, close to loads of lovely restaurants.Leer más

Hop on Hop off - Washington
16 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Great hop on hop off bus today sussing out what we want to visit the next couple of days. Arlington Cemetery to visit JFK gravesite & the eternal flame. Changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown was amazing. Next stop Lincoln Memorial. Well worth the climb up the steps (with millions of others) to look down on the reflecting pool and across to the Washington Monument.Leer más

Capitol Hill
16 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
Little walk down our road is Capitol Hill so off we toddled this morning to join the crowds. We managed join a tour immediately, right time, right place!!! Architecture is amazing, no words can describe it really, absolutely beautiful. Our guide was great, passionate about the history of his country and worth listening to. From there we went to the Museum of American Indian History, fascinating. A short stroll to the Space Museum which was amazing, so many exhibits, plus so many people . Think everyone was inside for the air conditioning as it is so hot here. Tomorrow is going to be worse - 34degrees.Leer más

Washington Heat
18 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
33 degrees so a slow start. Not walking in this heat so Uber to White House Visitor Center for a virtual tour. Interesting photos and displays, so much history. We now know a lot more about American history. Short walk up to the White House, we could get right up close this time, as the other day protesters blocked our way big time. Awesome. Quick lunch, uber home to lovely air con apartment. Wandered out for dinner to Romeo & Juliet restaurant. Had a drink with the young interns on our arrival back. Interesting topic of conversation. Future Presidents?????????????Leer más

Leaving Washington
18 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Uber of course to the airport but google decided to send us the wrong way, thank goodness our guy knew the right way. Bit of road rage to deal with and one finger salute got us to the airport. Sat on the Tarmac for three hours with a mechanical problem, finally reached our destination at Houston, LATE. But hey guys it's "MY BIRTHDAY ". So dinner at the hotel. Yummy dinner and then this ... check out the photos.Leer más

Houston
19 de mayo de 2017, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Off to the NASA Space Centre this morning, all we can say is WOW. Such an amazing place. We did a tour through the actual training centre and were blown away with the way in which they train and just what it all entails. We timed it right to listen to a half hour address by a former Astronaut. He gave us a great insight into the routines of an Astronaut, so interesting. We also got to see the shuttle that was used in the 70's.
Mr uber then took us to the Holocaust Museum, a very humbling and moving experience.Leer más
