Hey all,
We arrived in New York on Tuesday after our train journey up from Washington DC. We got ready pretty early and headed out down to Times Square area to grab some food have a drink before we went to watch The Little Mermaid. It was amazing!! (Andy and Lou it was like Salou!!)
After the show finished we went further downtown to meet Matt, who hadn't come with us to watch Little Mermaid. We ended up out in the lower east area of Manhattan and went to a little club. It was really good- playing electro and indie music. We got given 3d glasses and glow sticks on arrival! And as per usual we attracted a weirdo! What is it with us and attracting strange people! He kept high fiving Matt when we were sat down!
We ended up getting back at 5am in the morning after getting on the wrong subway and having to go back downtown!!
Wednesday we got up really late and had a really relaxing day. We got a sandwich and headed to Central Park where we just lazed about all afternoon and Carol and Matt played frisby while I (Liz) slept! No change there i tell you Mum and Dad- I'm definately a Speak!! We stayed in the park all day before returning to the hostel to attempt to cook in the kitchen which consists of 2 microwaves, a fridge, a kettle and nothing else! no cuttlery, plates, cups etc!
We played cards with a few European people and watched transformers before going to bed to be greeted by another weirdo in our room! He tried to steal my bottom bunk cos he said he had seizure disorder but there was no chance with my poor sunburned legs. Then he was trying to guilt carol by telling her 3 times if she heard a big thud in the night it would be him but not to worry about it- but she was on a top bunk too!!
Today (Thursday) we got woken up by the wierdo talking really loud on his phone and waking everyone up in the room. This was after been woken half the night with his random walks around the room and his snoring!! He then decided to talk to everyone saying "morning hostelites, how are we all doing this morning"!! no one else was awake and it was 8am!!
We got up later and went down to the statue of liberty, world trade centre, times square, empire state building and we then went to central park and saw the arctic monkeys playing frisby! We also attract famous people!!
We are heading out tonight for a few drinks so we will update again when we get to Boston.
Speak soon
Liz and Carol
