PHILADELPHIA - May 2007

Philly is great, the Greyhound trip was only 2 hours from Central NYC which was good news, driving in we got to see a good view of the skyline and Lincoln Field (would have been great to watch the Eagles but it was off season and we were on a budget). We lugged our bags through downtown Philly and found our hostel which was in the old town.

So we only had one full day in Philadelphia, so we wandered off round the old town taking in th sights. Independence Hall was over run with kids and was also being repaired so that was slightly disapointing, the Liberty Bell was fairly impressive though.

You cannot go to Philadelphia and not have a Philly Cheese Steak...easily the greatest sandwich I've ever had. Cheese Whizz, thin sliced beef and onions, pure heaven. We went out for beers to a couple of hip bars and tucked into our usual $ beers during happy hour.

Emma, Nails and I decided to stay in during the evening and settled down on he worn sofa's in the hostel to watch the jo that is Groundhog Day.

The morning was spent at the Art Museum..aka The Rocky Steps. We ran up and down them like morons and like everyone else. Then headed to another Greyhound station to get a 4 hour bus to Washington DC.
