So we arrived in New York after 3 n half hours on a very comfortable train! We then experienced some difficulties on the subway! Due to a lack of information, signs, staff and track closures it took us over an hour to get to our hostel, which we could have probably walked in 20 mins! Typical! We found an amazing Korean restaurant for tea, we'll definitely be back before we leave! 1st day we had torrential rain, this didn't stop us from having a good time! We had breakfast at Planet Hollywood, tea at the Hard Rock and we went to see RENT the musical off broadway! It was fantastic and it was the highlight of Steve's trip! We got back to the hostel to find out that parts of New York have been badly flooded! 2nd day we got wise to the weather and bought brollies! We shopped on 5th avenue and spent some time in Central Park and dined in for tea in our lovely hostel room! Lol! 3rd day we shopped again, this time on broadway! I actually bought something for myself! Lol! We also went to the FAO Schwartz toy shop on 5th avenue and also had time to eat a muffin in Central Park, this time there was a glimpse of sun! We end up having to walk everywhere because the subway is not so easy! 3 days in and we still haven't seen the sights, lol! Oh and we went back to Kyo Chon (Korean Restaurant) for tea, the food is so good! 4th day we finally saw the sights, woo hoo! We seemed to be fast tracked through the Empire State building! Great, shorter queues! We then stayed 3 n half hours on the downtown sightseeing tour bus to see the sights and get pictures of New York! Then we took the Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and Elis Island, pretty cool! Then we visited the new World Trade Centre site, can't believe it was 10 years ago! We then headed for the bright lights of Time Square, and shopped some more! Lol! Then dined under the Empire State Building for tea.5th day we took the sightseeing bus uptown then had a famous NYC pizza for lunch. We then queued in Times Square for discount tickets for RENT again and visited Grand Central Station. So our last night of our 9 week trip we went to see RENT and dined in Mc Donald's! I can't believe it's coming to an end! We fly today and get home tomorrow. So home to Scotland...
