When we woke Emily had already knocked off 5miles on a run around the countryside. Becky & I had a slower start to the morning taking coffee out on the decking enjoying what was already a hot day. I made breakfast of bacon & eggs for everyone while Stefan went out for a run too. Upon his return we headed north for lunch. One hour took us into Vermont state and lunch was had at the Billington brewery. Becky bless her didn’t have the greatest time, not ...

Without setting any alarms Becky and I were both up at 8:00 which meant we were only five minutes late for our scheduled departure time of 8:35am. The hardest part of the journey was getting north out of the New York City area from South Brooklyn. Emily negotiated the morning traffic extremely well in the rain.

It only cost $5 each to upgrade to this with our city pass. I had done this on two occasions previously but this was a first for Becky. We made a slight error in purchasing some drinks on board as they were anything but cheap. Still the tour was very informative and the weather couldn’...

Very kindly first thing Stefan made us bacon & eggs for breakfast. It was Friday in New York City we had to begin with a trip up the Empire State Building! Our city pass allowed us to skip the lines and head straight up to the outdoor area on the 86th floor. As it wasn’t too busy plus the weather was wonderful we were able to take our time going round the compass and take some good photos. We walked through Bryant Park and up fifth avenue on the way to Roc...
