UUUURRHHHH uuuuRHHH ( or what ever Rocky says at the end)

Phili 12/05 - 14/05

This is our last stop on the East Coast of USA. We can't believe that a month has past - we've seen and done so much!! We arrived here in the rain so decided to take a bus tour around the city on the afternoon we arrived - to be honest we found out a lot more stuff about phili than we would of if we had just wandered around. This is all we did for the first day as we only arrived at lunchtime.We had tea at Hard Rock cafe.

2nd Day

A hot day for starters. We set of wandering around the city and saw the sites up close. 1st we saw the Liberty Bell then wandered round eventually running up the Rocky steps and looked over phili. - A great moment ( We'd forgotten that the Rocky film was filmed here!!)



That night we took 1hr bus journey to Atlantic City. For those who don't know this place is a smaller version of Vegas. Here we got our bus fee paid for by a casino much to our surprise - so we decided to use this as our gambling fund. We actually ended up doubling our money!!! ( Team RA luck)

After the wins in the casino we took a night stroll along the broadwalk/beach before heading home to our worst hostel yet!! But for 13 pounds each a night we can't really grumble.

So:
New York, Boston , Montreal, Toronto , Niagara, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Phili, Atlantic City.......DONE.

Next Stop SAN FRAN and the west coast.

PS. Thanks for all your support for the new hair style. I am going for the Grandad Bill / Mick Hartley look. lol
