Bus to Philadelphia

Took the Metro this morning back into town to the Car park where the Megabus was to leave from. The queue was huge but all was well as 2 buses turned up. The Megabus is just the same as you see in the UK Doubledecker coach and cheap! You even get laptop power and free WIFI on the bus, which worked really well, I’d read some reviews about the quality of the buses and was a little wary at first but in reality they were great and for price were excellent - $8 to Philly against $90 on the train. The bus was soon on the freeway and even though we left 30 mins late we arrived on time at 35th Street Train Station on time. I then took the train 1 stop to Central Philly and then waited for the local bus No.38 out towards the hostel. The bus wound it’s way through the town and then out through some rather run down areas of the town and finally the driver gave me a shout when he got to the stop I needed. He’d obviously seen other backpackers before as he told me exactly which way to walk from the bus stop. I now had a mile walk into a public park to get to the hostel and it would have been fine although I noticed that my new roll along bag seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Looking down at the wheels I found that one had actually jammed or got stuck the friction had caused it to melt the housing and was now useless. Luckily I only had about a hundred yards to go to the hostel so I carried it the last bit.
Vey quiet hostel in the middle of nowhere, but did get chatting to a lad called Mark from Bolton and as we were both going to the Hostel in Philly centre tomorrow we agreed to team
