Streets of Philadelphia

As we were both too wired from the basketball game, we only got to sleep between 1.00am and 2.00am so we were both a little tired today.

We got up at 8.00am and headed down to the breakfast room for breakfast before asking reception where the guest laundry was, only to be told that they no longer have a guest laundry.

As we hadn’t done laundry since Chicago we were both running low on clothes so a quick google search we found the closest one was 2kms away.

This is the not so glamorous part of extended travel holidays - if only the washing went on holidays as well.

So with laundry in hand we made a beautiful 2km walk through the streets of Philly to the nearest laundromat and as the washing was being done, we enjoyed a Starbucks coffee and hot chocolate while we waited.

On the bright side, it’s a great way to see the streets of cities you wouldn’t normally go through.

After we finished the laundry we came back to our room, put it away before heading out the door again this time Trader Joe and CVS bound to get some food for lunches and dinners.

By the time we got back to our room it was around 2.30pm and after finishing lunch it was 3.30pm. As we were both exhausted we decided to have a lazy day in the room, an early night ready for days exploring over the next couple of days.

We walked 8kms today.Les mer
