So, actually made it New Yoik alive and well. The plane journey was pretty s*** as it was an overnight flight (bst) and got there late in the evening the same day (us time) so i was well shattered but got back to my hostel and crashed out. The hostel is pretty basic but its a roof over my head so it'll do. Obviously as soon as i got to Ny fI found out the jacko had died and the whole of America has pretty much gone into mourning which is a little weird....
Anyways so, first full day and its pissing it down with rain as I'm having a walk around and pop into a diner for breakfast after having a very akward conversation with the staff about wanting to use the 'loo' which should apparent;y be called 'restrooms' (don;t see much actual rest going on in there!) I got talking to a elderly japanese lady who told about what i should do in ny, about her kids and then invited me round to dinner..... i politely declined. The weather picked up so I did the whole tourist thing and did the bus tour around NYC which is far bigger than you can ever imagine, everything is huge! I went round ground zero which was pretty humbling and up to the top of the rock where I met a couple of British girls and spent the rest of the afternoon with them and ended up in the Musuem of Modern Art (don;t i sound all cultural??) which was not as boring as i thought it would be! I ended up going out with the two girls and a few people in their hostel for a few (who am I kidding... alot) of stupidly over priced drinks and ended up in Pacha which was pretty good... just not the getting home at quarter to six in the morning after getting lost around time square. All in all good times!
Today I went round the statue of liberty on a ferry which was pretty good considering I was incredibly hungover and my next stop is New Jersey to start a trek america tour up to niagra falls and back to NY for independance day. I'll hope to update this after then. Happy Independance day everyone!
