Having a great time in New York City. Managed to visit the Fire Department museum, some shopping around Ground Zero and rode on the Subway (Underground). The Subway by the way is about 20 years behind our London Underground in terms of quality of service and cleanliness of the trains and stations, but still an ideal way of getting around the city. Restaurants are plentiful near out hotel unlike last time as well as many local bars so this has been real handy for us compared with our visit 5 years ago back in 2004. The weather is predicted to reach anything up to 20c on Saturday, but we'll have to play this by ear considering as we're still in winter. Also been to the American natural history museum.Tracey is hoping to do a spot of ice skating in Central Park tomorrow...that should be a hoot! Hotel is spot on and in a handy location. May also be visiting the Rockafella centre this weekend too.
SAT 7th MARCH
Tracey did the ice skating in Central Park today in glorious 20c sunshine. Hard to think they had a heavy snowfall just 5 days ago and now its all thawed. Also
visited Macys for a short while, although its best to avoid it on Saturdays! Found a great little place for a fast food brekkie called Lennys near Columbus Circle. Had some trousers dry cleaned after some after-shave Lee got me a couple of months ago spilt onto them!
