This morning I took the red line subway all the way down to the south ferry terminal where I walked along the coast enjoying the sun. I then found myself walking adjacent to Wall Street so thought I may as well explore part of the famous financial area. I walked back and got myself a tour ticket and hopped on the ferry which circled the liberty island. The view was great, not only of the statue itself but of the manhattan skyline and I was happy to have ticked o...

I woke up this morning and attempted a walk to Central Park zoo as it was much nicer weather than expected. I didn't feel the need to go in, so just took a picture of the main entrance and wondered the path around the side. I then continued through the city to the base of the Empire State to take more pictures of the iconic building. I then went looking for my station for fridays journey and spent some time in Macy's. I was in a much better mood than when I was ...

Today the weather was crap, so unfortunately my motivation to get up and do anything was severely reduced. As today is the last day Andy is in NYC we decided to meet up again.

We wanted to make the most of the day but we had to meet in Times Square to get some tick...

Putting down the tent for the last time felt great! Not only that, but it was the last time we had to pack the trailer which made me even more happy. We were so close to finally leaving on time but one of the girls needed to go to the loo so we left at 5 past. We stopped for an early lunch just outside Philadelphia for a Philly Cheesesteak. The food was brilliant but I don't even think its possible to finish the amount of food I was given! We then took a few pi...
