Day 49 Washington DC, USA

Wednesday 27th July 2005

sunny 36 °C

Managed to get up reasonably early and we decided to do the hop on/hop off bus tour seeing the sights we missed out yesterday.The bonus is you get a better look around places you wouldnt normally notice like where Ronald Reagan was shot.First was a look around the National Cathedral which is one of the highest points in Washington and gives you great views over the city.Then onto Georgetown where theres some great places to go shopping and down to the canal where there was a barge being pulled horses.Next we headed over to the White House and it was suprisingly how close you can get to the front of it,and how close it is to the centre of downtown.Pretty much the rest of the places we passed we had seen yesterday but it was still a worthwhile trip.
