Sometimes days aren't going exactly as planned, which can be either stressful or relaxing. Today was one of those days, and honestly, while I am a little addicted with planning ahead, this day was more than relaxing.
What we were supposed to do was to take several tours around the city so we could see more of it. But since the day already started out quite hot, and when we walked fifteen minutes to the Yankee Stadium station and figured out we forgot the tickets to the bus, we just didn't feel like going back to get them. So what we did is move on with something else that we wanted to see: Coney Island.
Now Coney Island is a popular place. In movies it is named repeatedly and yes that is exactly why I wanted to go there, not really sure what to expect from the place. The place which is situated in Brooklyn is named as the city that holds a big aquarium in my tourist book. Well that didn't sound all too exciting, but when we got out of the subway, we were surprised. Coney Island is the mother of Luna, a pier festival/carnival/mini team park. One of those places that is seen in loads of teen movies and also some crime movies (Parker being one of them). It is actually really amazing to see one of those! But before we hopped off to the beach and whatnot, we came across a fun store called 'it's sugar'. It's a huge candy store which has fun items for the present teenagers. Mint boxes with texts like '
Something I had never seen myself doing in a New York holiday is relaxing on the beach in the sun. But as Netteh said, it's amazing to see a safe and peace sanctuary right here in the city that never sleeps. So there we were, sitting in the sand, eating our chilli cheese hot dogs and drinking our slushies. Yes I was already sunburned enough but I keep on thinking YOLO even though I regretted that for a split second when I showered.
However, staying in the sun all day wasn't a good plan, so after an hour of people spotting and relaxing, we decided to go off to Greenwhich village, where we put our nails through a real French manicure! Now what is cooler than getting a manicure in New York right? Too bad the workers weren't that cheerful about it all.
If everything had gone with the plan, we would have come home really late because of the night tour with a city tour bus, but since the plans had changed we decided to stay in for the night and have some fun in the hotel. We bought a 2L bottle of Mountain Dew, a big bucket of ice cream (rocky road flavour - chocolate ice cream with marshmallows and nuts) and ordered our four cheese pizza from Domino's! Today was fun, tomorrow we will do one of the tours most likely. I feel really calm here, no stress!
