We arrived in New York and arranged to meet up with Ann (from Treck america trip) but we were delayed on the plane and hence trecked across town on the underground to find our hostel on upper west side. I'll set the scene. Its Friday night, we have a vague idea of the street we are staying on and the subway station to get off at! We ended up trecking through the projects with our backbacks on, although it didn't feel too unsafe seen as we are now officall...

Day TenHad a sleep in today and headed to Moab and the Arches National Park. Chilled for a few hours before we headed to Dead Horse Point to see the sunset. Unfortunately, it was pretty cloudy but there was lightning flashes all over which were pretty cool. We ate our tea up there before heading back to camp- it started raining so we headed to the pub. As we are in Utah now the alcohol is nicknamed "near beer" as its so low. By the time we came out of t...
