New York
Top of Empire State BuildingHi Everyone, we are off to Vegas tomorrow so thought we would do a quick one about New York.
Well the first day we walked for literally 100 miles mostly up and down 5th Ave, we found Abercrombie and Tiffany quickly and the Abercrombie is amazing its like 5 floors high we never bought anything though even though it took a lot of willpower. Went to Central Park it was pretty cool. At bout 3ish we went up Empire State Building the waited till the sun went down and seen it at night it was pretty cool then we went to TGI Fridays for dinner (way more expensive than the Florida one!!)
Yesterday we got the subway down to the bottom of Manhattan and went on the Staten Island Ferry to see the skyline but it was very cloudy and really couldnt see anything, it started to clear up though so thought we would go get the ferry to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, it ended up pissing down and by god we were soaked through so so wet anyway found our way to the cafe so was all good. Got some cool pictures though. Then we headed
New York
Empire State building up to Wall St and to see Ground Zero wasnt much there as they are building The Freedom Tower in the same place but they had a nice memorial wall up and stuff.
Today we walked back down 5th Ave and then walked from the bottom of Central Park right up to the top - I hope everyone is impressed! Then got the subway back to Times Sq, then Martyn went for a sleep and I read my book - whats new!!
Anyway thats about it, had a great time cant believe we are leaving tomorrow thats one place over already, as you can imagine Martyn is looking forward to Vegas Im just hoping its hot enough to sun bathe!!
Will get pics on here as soon as we get a chance - there is 100's sure you all cant wait!!

Hey Lee Just thought I'd write a wee comment to say I'm keeping up-to-date with your travels...so jealous! You seem to taking it all in. I loved the buzz of NY and wish we had gone to Central Park. Keep them coming...they are being read! cc x
