Today is the Fourth of July and were in New York! I've had a really good time here, its been busy busy busy, can't believe in 3 days Ill be home and our 6 month adventure will be over! On one hand I'll be sad that its over (and I have to come home to the real world and find a job!) but I can't wait to come home and see everyone, sleep in my bed, eat my mums cooking, have a shower in my power shower...
So New York - I've been spending the last of my money - its so hard to resist the holiday sales and the outlet shopping! Plus being allowed 60KG baggage allowance back home doesn't help!
Were staying with Patrice's uncle in Long Island which is cool. On the first day we did some sight seeing, saw where the twin towers were which was really sad, still can't believe it was 5 years ago now, got the Staten Island Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty, saw Madisson Sq Gardens, tried to go up the Empire State Building but the queue was about 2 hours long so we gave up! The next day
we went to Woodbury Common (the outlet shopping village!) and picked up some bargains, then we went to see Patrices other uncle who was at a football match (or a soccer match as they call it here!) in the Bronx so saw a bit of footie here too!
Yesterday we had a great day - we went into town in the morning, went to Macy's and Bloomingdales, then went and had lunch at Tao's (one of the restaurants from Sex and the City), then we went on the Sex and the City tour which was amazing!!! They do it twice a day every day of the week and the bus was packed (50 people!) - can't believe how busy it still is even though the program finished 2 years ago! We went past loads of the locations and stopped off at a few - but most exciting was when we stopped at Carries stoop and had our pictures taken in front of the famous door!!! Also we went to Aidan and Steves bar and had a Cosmopolan! It was great!
Today were going to see the fireworks this evening I think then out for a 4th of July dinner.
Only a few days left now!!
