Day 5

Purchasing reserved seat tickets so we could go to the front of the queue for the bus, we smugly arrived at the Greyhound terminal to find a queue of 1 other person. Another $5 well spent then! Although in our defence the militant lady who sold us the tickets gave us little choice. Lynne stopped Matthew from tipping her out of pure fear, but both moved quickly away from the ticket booth in case she ordered us to do push ups. Arriving in our next destination, Lynne was already singing the theme tune from Rocky! Welcome to Philadelphia! Now this is a gem of a hotel, free lemonade on arrival and a free wine reception later on! Deciding it would be better to run the Rocky steps before the wine reception, the newlyweds head for the Philly museum of Art. Exactly as imagined- tourists running the steps. It would have been rude not to join in! Lynne's favourite part of the trip so far! Entering the wine reception, Lynne subtly played the honeymoon card again - off we go to a Tom Petty concert with free tickets provided by the hotel! Another amazing experience- a gig in a stadium. Barry, are you jealous? One sweaty concert and a Philly cheese steak later, we enter the room to strawberries dipped in chocolate and a bottle of wine: a small gift for the honeymooners courtesy of the hotel!
