This is probably the most memorable trip ever^-^ My friend and I were left alone in the house since the rest of the guys had already left. We had been planning to check out Philadelphia for a long time, especially since it's only a 3-hour drive from Wildwood. And since work was already done, we could safely hit the road. So, we arrived at the Wildwood Bus Terminal at 8, but were told the bus wouldn't arrive until 9. After waiting an hour, we were finally heading towards Philly. As I said, it was a 3-hour ride, watching the small American towns you see in movies pass by. I always travel with headphones. For me, it's an unreal vibe to admire new places while listening to my favorite songs. And that's where the fun begins. We stopped at some Bus Terminal, most passengers got off, and we did too, of course, without thinking to ask. After wandering around the station, we went to look for the city center. On the way, we met a student and asked where the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art was, and she pointed us in the right direction. We kept walking, but the only thing that looked like a museum was the library building. To be honest, based on what the guys told me, I imagined Philadelphia completely differently: high-rise buildings, crowds of people. Here, it was the opposite. Not a hint of any movement. And that's when we started doubting if we had arrived at the right place. Okay, we kept walking... we saw a bridge and a RIVER???!!!! (later it turned out to be the Delaware River). And on the other bank were those huge buildings))) What? Where are we?? We couldn't swim across it, so we headed back. On the way, we met a woman who kindly agreed to explain to us what was going on. Us: "Good afternoon!! Could you please tell us where the city center is?" Woman: "This is the city center." Us: "And what is that over there, behind the bridge?" Woman: "That? Philadelphia!" You can imagine the look on my face) haha)) Us: "And where are we now?" Woman: "This is Camden." Oh yeah... we didn't make it to Philly and ended up in Camden) The lady explained how to get to Philadelphia, and we wandered back to the bus station. On the way, we were laughing wildly at the fact that we couldn't go without an adventure once again)) At the stop, to catch the right bus, we started talking to another nice woman who was also going to Philly. The bus costs $1.50, and here we are, crossing the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. The woman got off at some stop, and we thought we would get off a little later. Sitting on the bus, we were still laughing that this was our bus tour of Philly. And what do you think??? The bus made a loop and was heading back to Camden again)) Oh my God, we were returning to the same bus station. As soon as we saw the Bus Terminal, we jumped off that bus, ran across the road, and got on the bus to Philly again. I think we definitely cheered up the people who were watching this))) This time, we got off somewhere in Philadelphia. Phew... hooray!) I really liked the city, and it's a pity that with all this running around and traveling, we didn't have time to really explore it( Luckily, we managed to visit the Independence Visitor Center and the Liberty Bell Pavilion. It was in Philadelphia that the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Constitution was adopted. And the cracked Liberty Bell is one of the most famous symbols of the USA. We even took a picture with Benjamin Franklin! (well... more precisely, with a person who was dressed up as the former president). We were very hungry and tried to find a place to grab a bite. On the way, we met a man named Robert. He was also dressed in the costume of a famous historical character. Robert said that if we were in Philadelphia, we just had to try a Cheesesteak and even suggested where we could do it. And he was right, the cheesesteak was just "finger-licking good"))) We couldn't leave Philadelphia without souvenirs. Ending up in Chinatown, we found a small shop where we bought magnets, postcar
