Ria's Travels around USA!!!
Well...where do I start???
New York (2nd time round) has been absolutely brilliant...
From the minute I got here...till now...it's just been great!!!!
I checked into the same hostel as Ines and bless her she'd been up since 7am waiting for me!!! That was a nice suprise. After plenty of catching up and giggling as ya do...we headed straight to the consulate to pick my passport up and it was SO nice to have it back, although I was secretly planning on never coming home. HaHa :-)
We went down to China Town and had a look around the shops, I think it's the biggest China Town in the USA, and I've been to a fair few over the 7 weeks and it was HUGE!!! Very manic down there, but that's all apart of the experience, we found this cute little chinese cafe and we had green tea and chinese cakes...very srummy!!!!
It was so nice being back here... I went to the Empire State Building again, Madison Square Gardens, Times Square and good old Broadway...it all looked so nice in the evening. Am really gonna miss it here... We had hotdogs and ice-cream and spent the night strolling around just letting time fly by... It was great :-)
Back at the hostel we stayed up with quite a few of the other people till about 2, chatting away and talking about travels and stuff, because everyone's doing similar things you can just spend hours exchanging stories and reminiscing about places you've been, it was a brill night...
The following day we headed to the Brooklyn Bridge, I didn't manage to make it first time round so it was defiantly on the list, and it was just great, you could see miles and miles of New York, You could even see the Statue of Liberty standing tall in the distance, it was well weird, Oh and Lloyd I looked for the Watchtower headquarters you mentioned and I took a few pictures for you :-)
Oh we went to this gorgeous little Jamaican restaurant and I ordered about 5 things...I'd missed this kind of food so much, I cant wait to go round to Nana and Grandads and getting a proper fix :-) It was yummy but just not as good as back home...
Done a little bit of shopping in Harlem and got a few bits and bobs for people back home, it was so nice to go round the shops and actually spend some money!!! Next time am in New York am taking a BIG budget...
Friday was a brilliant day as well... I spent the day finishing my shopping, that was good, got a few bits for myself and that was even better :-)
I went on the 'Sex and the City' tour and it was just great!!! We had so much fun, the tour was so funny and just totally outrageous like the show...a really good laugh...and FINALLY I indulged in a cosmopolitan...VERY New York. Although it wasn't as nice as i'd imagine...blew my head off actually!!! light weight!!! :-)
Then to end the evening me and Ines went to this club called Storm and it was just HOT. The music was absolutely brilliant, and I partied like it was my last ever night out :-) we walked home like 2 cripples at like 5 o'clock in the morning because we's just danced all night, it was just a great way to end my time here, I loved it...
Then 2day I just spent the morning packing which was quite emotionally actually, seemed to have accumulated 3 extra bags!!!! :-) Said an emotional goodbye to Ines..again...and USA :-)
Soon I'll be on my way to the airport and its really sad actually...7 weeks just like that...
Am really really excited to see everyone, but am really goona miss this place, I have lots of pictures and lots of stories to tell so I suppose I can relive it any time I like :-)
Am so glad I came here...There were so many times when it seemed like it was all gonna fall through and am just so glad I stayed brave despite all the horror stories natalie told me :-) and stuck at it because I've just had a brilliant time, I could never explain the experience I've had fully...I hope you've got a grasp of it though...
Just wana say thanks to my Mum and Karl, you've both been great when things have got a little out of control on this side and I owe you both big time, so thank you thank you thank you, cant wait to see you both...
So for the last time...THAT'S ME!!!!!
BYE BYE EVERYONE
Take Care
MWAH
