A massive T-Rex skeleton at the Museum of Natural History I woke up today even earlier than yesterday went down and my luggage had arrived. It's about time, I felt so much better and much more comfortable now that I had all my clothes and toiletries. I was out of the hostel at around 8AM, once again walking around central park, exploring the other end. It wasn't long before I met up with Amy and two more of her friends: Alison and Rachael. Today they were going to the Museum of Natural History, which I wasn't really interested in because I hadn't heard much about it. We took the subway entrance that leads directly into the museum and decided to not pay the voluntary advised amount of $15 but instead paid $5 each. We decided to start at the top floor which had all the dinosaur bones because Rachael and Alison didn't have much time and wanted to see that the most.
We wandered around the massive museum looking at all the dinosaur and animal bones, they were amazing and it just kept coming, room after room. After we finished on that floor Rachael and Alison had to leave to go somewhere else so Amy and I decided to stay

The Museum of natural History - Dinosaur bones at the museum and have a better look around. So we then had a look around almost every exhibit in the museum that we could without paying extra and ended up spending over 6 hours there. Which included so many things that I have seen before like the giant whale hanging from the ceiling and the stone face statue thing. It was the most amazing museum I have ever been to, and I can't believe I wasn't interested in going. Afterwards we took the subway and had a look at "Tom's Restaurant" which is the restaurant used in Seinfeld as a cafe that they frequently go to. We had a look at eating there but it wasn't the same inside as used in Seinfeld and was very expensive so we decided against it. We then headed back to my hostel to relax for awhile as we drifted in and out of sleep. I'd been out and about most of the time since I arrived and as soon as I stop and slow down it was very easy for me to fall asleep.
Later we headed down to Times Square and had a better look around during night, it is

Statue in the Museum of Natural History so amazing. There were so many lights everywhere and so many people it felt like daylight. All the time you'd walk down Times Square and have people come up to you trying to sell you tickets to a comedy show or a bus tour or even just to get you into their restaurant. We walked until it was dark then Amy took me to Cold Stone which is an ice-cream place where they smush candy or chocolate into your ice-cream, tasted very good. We were very tired after and decided to head back to our hostels to sleep.
