Today is our last day in New York and we will be sad to go as it is such a cool place.  The new hostel is much better you'll be glad to know!!! We are very tired now because of all the sight seeing and have aching feet after all the walking we can't wait to lie on the beach in Fiji!!

We went to see beauty and the beast (Gems choice!) on Broadway. It was fantastic with the added bonus of starring Donny Osmond as Gaston!!

Yesterday we explored the meatpacking district which is full of trendy bars and restaurants We found an authentic fish n chip shop and a shop selling british stuff like marmite and PG Tips.

Today we walked over Brooklyn bridge and did some shopping. We found Canal street which is nothing like the one in Manchester it is full of people selling fake watches handbags etc and loads of street hustlers.

Our top tip is DO NOT go to a KFC in the US they give you "Biscuits" instead of fries which are basically greasy scones - very strange.

Got a long flight ahead of us tomorrow to Fiji will arrive on Tuesday! We probably will not be able to update until we get to New Zealand. When hopefully we will be able to post some photos.   xxx
