Google’s walking directions have pretty much been a life-saver and overall guide for where we should stay. It’s accuracy is amazing and when it says it’s an half an hour walk – It really is a half an hour walk. Unfortunately, it does not account for two large wheeled bags, operated by two young male tourists.

The sheer amount of poverty within Washington actually surprised me. From the Greyhound to the other side of town, it was approximately 1 in 5 (a slight exaggeration).

Walking through the scenic route, across the South (I’m making that assumption of what I would assume would be the south lawns), we saw the White House.

Pretty impressive, pretty being a complete understatement – it’s just a shame of the distance that we were restricted too. Zoom makes pictures horrible! Whilst we were trekking along the path, Obama arrived in one of three helicopters. Apparently, there are always two decoys in case of an ambush – rather interesting I thought, with this rule applying to his other methods of transport [APPARENTLY].

With Sus complaining that the White House didn’t look right, he soon recalled from his 3D puzzle days, that we were looking at the South side and the famous view was from the front gates.

After walking another twenty blocks or so, we arrived at The Allen Lee Hotel. Though, it was definitely missing an ‘s’ from the state of the outside. Mr Lee should be slightly ashamed of how his hotel is looking – it wasn’t exactly the first impression that we were hoping for. However, the room seemed pretty clean and the location was good for the monuments, just an trek from the Greyhound (as well as the train station, etc).
