After a slow start to the morning I got sorted and went downstairs and saw Nick,Saoul and Tatsuya so we decided we would go to the Empire State Building. It was amazing it was all marble and high ceilings, we only went to 86th floor but after being that high I didn't feel the need to go higher and it was expensive to go higher well!We took an elevator up to the 80th floor and then another to the 86th floor. After going round the top outside and taking pictures we went down and decided to wondered about and find Mexican food.

I eventually got myself sorted and started through Central Park, i started the way we had gone the other day and walked completely across and onto 5th Avenue. I went to the Guggenhiem but it was closed on thrusdays so i continued to the zoo which was very interesting.Saw penguins,polar bears,puffins,red pandas and a few other different and interesting animals.

They are both 4 floors and sell almost the same things on every level but the way they are decorated is crazy amazing. ... read more

Hardly slept but got up at half 8 and got ready for the Historic Harlem Tour. Was a 3 hour walking tour around Harlem and uptown Manhatten. Was very interesting and learnt alot about the history and got to see how to get around town and what its like. We saw a protest a very small one due to people not being hired. Saw the Yankee Stadium and the better end of Harlem and the Not so great part but we didn't walk round that bit. After the tour a few of us went to the Whole Foods store and bought some great lunch it was pick and mix salad, curries etc.Went back to the hostel to eat it and then headed to Central Park which is amazing truely amazing.
