20th October (4)



. . . and ducks, searching for their lunch.

The highlight of the day was the National Archives, though. What a treat - so much of the history and heritage of the country there, and it's very well presented.

In the evening we took in a film - "The Secret Life off Bees", which we thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to others.

Please keep the comments coming, as it's lovely to know that anyone is reading this!

The answer is, of course, to spend as little time as possible in the room, and that's what we did today. Once again, did a lot of walking and took in, amongst other sights, the White House. . .

The "hotel"/hostel is terrible - no room to swing a cat and less than basic - see image of Dave looking very forlorn outside it. The worst was at 05:30 this morning being woken by a fire engine clanging its siren inside the room - or that's what it sounded like - only to be followed by two more. We've tried desperately to find something else convenient that is not too pricey, but in vain, so we're here again tonight.
