We're going out today to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary as we don't want to be ill when we hope to check out Friday - John's been awesome offering us a blow-up mattress if we're stuck Friday but we're hoping to get a hotel and celebrate our last night. So, we get our glad rags on and we're off to the city - Jacqs elated because john has straighteners (course he does) and offers her the use of them - an hour later (yawn) the locks are flowing and we're off.

Lazy day again - need days like these just chilling watching movies and getting our laundry done at the laundrette.

After a couple of coffees, we make tracks stopping at the Brooklyn ...

Day of rest we are chilling - it's all about relaxing today, reading and finishing Dan Browns inferno - great book - and ordering a curry - yes, we know we're gluttons! We head out round 6pm to check out the local bars, it's really not for us - too much club music and loud Latino beats. We stop at a bar called Monkey Room for a tipple, bit pricey so head back to our host John John, aka John. He's chilling on the sofa so we corrupt him into playing gin rummy wit...
