New York & Washington ‘19 – The Photos

As usual with our trips I take many more photos than I can upload while I am away. I have now uploaded the best of the many I have taken to my Flickr account but you can also see them below.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Eight – Georgetown and Goodbye

The last day of a holiday is always sad because you’ve got to pack, get a flight home, go back to work etc. but as our flight wasn’t until the evening we had pretty much a full day left. Hurrah! We chose to spend that time close to the hotel exploring Georgetown.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Seven – The Other End of the Mall

Today we hit the other end of the Mall taking the Circulator down to Union station as our start point. The station is a destination in itself irrespective of whether you are taking the train. It has shops, a food hall, a beautiful entrance hall and even some trains.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Six – The Mall

Washington came as refreshing change after New York. I really enjoyed the days we spent in NYC but I also found it claustrophobic. Washington on the other hand feels fresh and clean. The roads are wide, there are plenty of green spaces and it seems much less regimented.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Five – Living the High Line

There are plenty of iconic sights in New York that people can recite without thinking but it is always good to find something a little bit unusual to do on a trip and today’s walk along the High Line was certainly that.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Four – Central Park

Today we had earmarked for Central Park and nothing else. It was interesting to have seen it from the top of the Rockefeller Center yesterday. It is a very obvious rectangle that is “missing” from the otherwise jam packed city buildings.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Three – Top of the Rock

I had been adamant that we’d had breakfast included in the price of our hotel but it turned that that was not the case so we were left to find another (cheaper) alternative. Turns out that there are lots of Le Pain Quotidien’s over here and they do a reasonable pain au raisin.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day Two – Brooklyn and the Staten Island Ferry

When you come to such a well known city as New York there are many things that you simply have to do and then there are the place that others say that your simply have to do. Everyone agrees that the Statue of Liberty is one of those things that you simply have to do so first thing today we did.… Read the rest

New York & Washington ‘19 – Day One – Sterile Environment

I’m very excited as this time our travels take us back to the USA but this time to a new destinations in the shape of New York and Washington DC. These have been on our bucket list for a while. Actually, to be honest, only New York was on the list but the more people that we spoke to who had been the more that urged us to take up DC too.… Read the rest
