Despite having a terrible headache all afternoon, yesterday started and ended extrememly well. In the morning i discovered a little cafe on the corner called Caffe Bene and oh wow it is my favourite place in the whole world. Its got a very relaxed vibe with book shelves, soft background music that sets the mood, amazing brunch foods and coffee, vintage paintings and dimmed lights etc. I only wish i had dicovered it days ago! We all went here for a late breakfast before poppa and i headed out to buy him a pair of nice shoes. After getting slightly side tracked in Foot Locker on times square, we came across a mens fashion and foot wear store. I realised today how easy men are at making their mind up about things and how they dont spend hours in one shop like us girls. We were in and out of there pretty quickly and he ended up getting a very formal pair of shoes that we both decided were the best ones.
In the afternoon we headed down to the hudson river pier where we would catch a ferry around the whole of Manhattan island. All of a sudden i had a really bad headache and felt a little sick but i didnt want that to stop me enjoying such a perfect moment as we cruized down the hudson & east river with all the views of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long island in the background. The tour guide who was very informative certainly taught me a lot on the history of new york and i learnt an awful lot about all things new york.
Jelly legs and healed headache was the first thing i noted when hopping off the ferry. It was a great afternoon although being out on the river had its toll on how cold i got!
By the time we walked back towards the hotel, it was about 6ish and for some reason i was in the mood for asian food. I had noticed an asian buffet not far from where we were staying a few days ago so i suggested we head there to finish the day. The food was amazing and they seemed to have everything i was in the mood for...which may have been a bad thing considering i was pretty hungry, craving all the food and it was an all you can eat buffet. Even the desserts were to die for. So 4 courses later i was feeling a tad sick and very bloated but it was certainly worth it.
This morning when i woke up nana and poppa had already left and i was on my own. I had a quick shower, threw on a cute outfit, grabbed my macbook, Tiffany's book, hand bag and starbucks and came back down to Caffe Bene. Right now im sitting here with an almond crossaint, a green tea, my tiffanys book that im dying to read, using their wifi to talk to the girls and update my blog and thinking about how perfect this moment is. I wouldnt trade it for anything and the only problem im having is becoming so attatched to this place that its going to kill me to leave. I guess it means i have to make the most of every moment here and enjoy it will it lasts. Because sadly; nothing lasts forever.
Ive arranged to meet n&p back in the room at 2pm so we can go down to Central Park for a run and dinner at the Wholefoods Market. Perfect moments seem to be a common moment here in USA and as i said, the more i get attatched, the more i never want to leave and the more determined i become to live here one day.
