Having gone to bed about 11 local time I was well rested by this morning & got up with Stefan and Emily before they started work. We began the day with a birthday mimosa each to celebrate Stefan's birthday. After the present opening he headed off to work & I went for a run. Stefan & Emily's flat is located 2mins from prospect park. This extremely large and pleasant park is great for getting lost in & discovering exciting sites. This encouraged me...

I woke early, the last thing I wanted to do on my last day of holiday, so I decided to get my packing done. With this done I had an hour to sit and relax as I waited for the family to return from Manhattan. At 12:30 we walked to Skillman Avenue and went to the Dog & Duck Gastropub for lunch. The sun was out, the pub had its doors open and it was very pleasent to sit and have a lazy lunch. I took the family into Flynns Garden Inn so they could see it for them...

We all walked down to Macy's, where Stefan returned to work. We split up to cover more ground. I went with my dad...

After I great night asleep I was full of energy. I went for a run on the coolest day since I arrived in NYC.

I wish we had this at JDH. Soon I was connected through to Charlottes room, where I woke her up at 11:35. This proved to be good timing as my parents were due back shor...

A lazy Sunday was called for. We went to brunch at Bar 43 where we sat outside in the sun. I watched the first half of the Eagles game whilst we ate. At the half we were 17-0 down. As food was over I went to Flynns to try & watch the second half. As there was a christening on it was very busy & they were showing the Jets game. I only stayed for one before going to meet Raj at a bar in the Flatiron area of Manhattan. During my movement phase the Eagles had...
