Washington DC - Arrival

So, Washington DC... that's where we were a few days ago. What did we do there? Mostly museums, walking, museums, walking, museums, walking, walking, walking... we are so tired right now that we actually think about taking a whole day off :-P

Let's start at the beginning...

Last Saturday we had our second flight: Orlando - Washington DC. Everything went really smoothly until shortly before our landing: The girl sitting in front of us got sick and it was quite a mess... I hate that - the smell and everything. About 20 minutes later, when we landed, her sister got sick too... so, this was a promising start in Washington DC ;-)

After finding our way out of the airport we took the bus to downtown DC and afterwards the subway to Chinatown. After a 10-minute-walk we found our hostel. Since the hostel was quite expensive, we expected a good, clean, advanced hostel. But we should have known: Whenever you expect anything to be good it won't... It started with the fact, that we couldn't enter the hostel. We rang the bell, but nobody opened the door. After a few minutes the doors opened finally and the "front-desk-lady" asked us in. But before saying "hello" or anything like that, she ordered us to take off our shoes ?! wtf? "It feels more like home if you walk without shoes in here" - oh boy. So we took off our shoes and after a some administrative stuff we got our hostel tour: You can't take any food or drinks in your room, you must take off your shoes in the house. When we finally saw our room, it was not really clean. There were long black hairs in the bed :-/, at the floor and everywhere... the air conditioning was of no use at all, we couldn't regulate it and it blew directly in Woody's face during the night :-P And the bathroom floor looked more like a big sea than a floor - it was all wet. So, what a good start then :-)

We wanted to get something good for the end of the day, so we decided to go eat some curry :-D curry is always good - and it was good! When we got back again everything was not so bad anymore (possibly because we were so tired, that we didn't care anymore :-P)
