Bye bye Boston!
The last few days of Boston we spent shaking our historical asses, making the long walk along the 'Freedom Trail'. For those of you NOT familiar with this major piece of American history (shame on you.... although I expect its all of you!) its basically a LONG walk throughout Boston along a red brick line showing you all the sights including Boston tea party etc and all that colonial crap that doesn't really touch our history (hear the patriotism over here!?!).HOWEVER! We also went to the original Cheers bar, which was so fab...we tried not only Boston Baked beans (Kate) but New England Clam Chowder (moi) and also Sam Adams lager (the both of us of course)! Check us out trying to get down with the locals!
To be honest not much else happened so I thought I'd tell you about some of the more important factors of our trip...freaks.
For those of you not familiar with Hostelling International's policy, it says it 'doesnt discriminate' against ANY of its guests... and that means everyone, including.....
A complete nutter who sat at the table at brekkie and chatted on his phone (no doubt no one was at the other end of the line) about how he wanted 'the limo outside within 10 minutes', before ending the call with the line 'I love you Dad'. Oh and then he put his key card down his trousers...lovely stuff.
Sean...who we actually grew quite fond of...who greeted us on Sunday night drugged up to his eyeballs and took quite a shine to Kate. We tried to walk off but he followed us and kept telling us how his girlfriend had run off with her ex, basically ranting on about having no friends, even tho we were the only ones crazy enough to give the poor lad the time of day! Even as we left Boston at 7am we could hear him on the phone yelling down the halls! Good luck with the detox Sean!
We then got a Chinatown bus to New York and then another onto Washington DC.. we travelled for over 9 hours and it only cost us $35! Chinabuses will soon be in for world domination...mark my words!
