HOHO Bus Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Our last full day in Washington and indeed the US so decided to use the Hop-on, Hop Off bus to see more sights.  We picked the bus up by the Old Ebbitt Grill \u2013 the White House stop and started on the Red Loop.  This took us past Union Station and the Capitol before heading down to the other end of the mall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was much hotter and more humid than it had been all fortnight \u2013 and thunderstorms were forecast this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got off the bus so we could wander around the Jefferson Memorial \u2013 Jefferson was the third President of the USA and penned the Declaration of Independence.  One plus point, it was very cool (as in cold!) inside the memorial!  On the lawns outside, a wedding was taking place \u2013 over looking the tidal basin across to the Martin Luther King memorial.  What a fab location!<\/p>\n\n\n
