Journey to Washington DC

Evening all...

Its 9.28PM here. Now i am at Boston. Just arrived around 7PM from district of Buffalo. It took me 7 hours journey by bus but it was an amazing journey.

Now, i want to share my journey to Washington DC. My journey to Washington began from the State of New Jersey on 04/02/2013. It took about 2 hours and 30 minutes to arrive at Washington. Nothing much can i say about this City. It was a pleasant and quite place and suitable for those who hates hustle and bustle of crowds and traffic.

Early morning snow and it was freaking cold.

The above picture taken at the Philidelphia. We stopped here to have a breakfast before proceed to Washington. The routine problem was to face the food as we only can take bread and egg for breakfast. The rest was ...........????

Breakfast for that morning...cost $7

After breakfast, we continue our journey  to DC.  The rest of it was amazing. Yes, truly, Allah creation is the greatest. My finger couldn't miss from pressing the camera shutter so that i can capture all those magnificent view.

Mild snow along the way

We arrived at Washington at about 11AM. The first event was to ride the boat. For this, we have to pay $23. frankly, it wasn't that good. There was nothing i could earn from this. Just frosting myself while the boat running. I took some pictures out of this....

Line up for the boat rides

Inside the Boat

 I was freezing like crazy this time. At the moment, i failed to snap a picture because for a better view, we have to lift the slide from the boat window, but the wind from the outside really unbearable. I just could not.

After that, we moved to the historical side of Washington. We visited the Lincoln memorial, the Capitol Hill and the famous White House. It was amazing. The weather seems so clear but it  killing all of us.

The Museum was great.

The exhibition

After visiting this Museum, we also visited a few Historical Place like Capitol Hill, Lincoln Memorial Park, White House and also the Washington Monument. I don't think that Washington is as Hectic as New York. It was so peace, soothing and quite city. It was more like Putrajaya because of it administrative place. The great part was, the weather is extremely freezing eventhough there was no snow yet. I can't stand more than 15 minutes outside as my feet went numb so does my finger. I am wearing 3 layers outfit inside and out, but it wasn't working.

At Capitol Hill and at my back is the Frozen lake.

The view was great.

Where is everybody?

Quiet city.

Then we heading to White House. Here we can see a lot of tourists from all over the world. mostly from China and europhian. Memandangkan tempat ni merupakan Pusat Pentadbiran penting, jadi security agak ketat. Hanya sebahagian White House ni dibenrakan untuk pelancong masuk.I forgot which side, but if i not mistaken, we are in the south side.

White House behind bar...haha

Nice brazilian guy took our picture. Thank You so much.

Oleh kerana tak tahan sejuk, aku cepat cepat masuk dalam bas sebab nak meneruskan perjalanan ke Lincoln Memorial Park. Tak jauh pun. Tak silap dalam 10 minit lebih kurang. Disni, tour kami split jadi 2 group. One for Chinese tour language and second for English tour. Of Course la kami kena ikut yang English tour. Kami diterangkan serba sedikit tentang jasa dan pengorbanan Abraham Lincoln dalam pembebasan hamba pada zaman pemerintahan beliau dan sejarah pembahagian negeri negeri di Amerika.

In front of the memorial. It was a freaking cold sunny day.

The Lincoln. Look upon his Hand. The  left hand symbolize the resilient and the right hand symbolize the tolerance and relax.

Enjoying my hot Choc after long walk. Heaven!

Captured this on the way back.

On the way bak to the Hotel, kami berhenti makan. Biasala, masalah biasa yang dihadapi orang muslim kalau travel ni adalah makanan halal. Oleh kerana tempat yang bas tour kami singgah ni tak ada muslim food, terpaksala kami makan salad dan seafood sahaja.

Singgah sini jugak untuk beli barangan ringan

Looking for something.

Our dinner, shrimp, broccoli and crab salad.

Actually dinner hari tuh adalah buffet. Harga untuk P/Person adalah $15. Tapi memandangkan masalah halal haram ni, kami tak boleh enjoy pun makan tuh. Lepas habis main course, kami amek buah buahan untuk dessert. Hanya tuh yang boleh dimakan.

Hotel kami di Washington ialah Hotel Windham Garden Hotel. Ianya hotel yang agak jauh dari bandar tapi sangat selesa dan bersih.

Berpusu pusu guest yang baru sampai nak check in

Our room. 2 Single/double size beds.

Di awal entry ni, aku masih berada di Boston, tapi memandangkan banyak masalah internet kat hotel, entry ni tak dapat di publish dan terpaksa di sambung sambung.

Ketika menaip entry ni, aku dah pun kat New York dan menginap di hotel terakhir di Timequare. Sepanjang perjalanan di US ni, kami menginap di hampir 8 hotel yang berlainan. Fuhhhh..sangat memenatkan. I shall stop now. Will continue my journey with all of you guys.........till now, babai......:)
