New York
Hi, Oh Sweet Faithful Reader...not too busy at work today, then?
I want to tell you that we are 48 hours into New York and we love it. Also that our hotel is called the Jolly Hotel is in Manhatten and is just off Fifth Avenue, 3 blocks from the Empire State Building, and less than 10 minutes walk from Times Square.
Today we caught the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and also called in at Ellis Island. The tour guides were really useful and suffice to say we both learnt a bit about 20th century history with the emphasis on the aforementioned! Also learnt not to take Leigh's swiss army knife in with me, as it was confiscated during a security check. So, there goes our wine opener and picnic knife etc etc!
The weather has been gloriously sunny with only a brief shower last night and a slight breeze today. We are in T-shirt and shorts - even in the evenings. (Leigh attributes this fact to having no other clothes, but he's just feeling sorry for himself!)
Last day in NY tomorrow, Friday, and I plan to jog around Central Park - yup, I have arrived equipped with jogging bra and trainers; shame I cannot also pull out of the bag a bundle of motivation to ensure they are actually used! Anyway, no excuse...
We'll be back.
