Day 21: New York - Miami Arrived at Miami train station around 7pm after 27hrs on the Amtrak train. The train was quite entertaining. I had two black sisters from New York sitting behind me that talked and gossiped the whole trip. When we finally arrived at Mismi train station, it was pouring down with rain and so humid. It actually felt good, cos the train was freezing cold. This is a pic of my room at The Essex Hotel, which is an Art Deco Hotel. I have ar...

Day 20: Statue of Liberty Today I took a 3 hr cruise of Manhattan that included The Statue of Liberty as well as Ellis Island. It was a relaxing way to finish off my time in New York with blue skies ahead and a nice warm 26 degrees. At 3pm I boarded the Amtrak train heading toward Miami. I have a long journey ahead of me and I am looking forward to resting my poor feet after the pounding they've copped over the last few days. My thoughts on New York: Great c...

Day 19: Manhattan After yesterday's walking marathon, I found it really hard to get out of bed this morning. Luckily, my tour started at 3pm.

We had cupcakes from Magnolia bakery in Greenwhich Village which were half icing and even too sweet for me and (so small too!) Stopped at The Pleasure Chest, where Miranda bought ...

Day 18: Manhattan 10am walking Tour of Greenwhich Village. Very informative tour of the village followed by the East Village Rock/punk tour with Bobby Pinn.

So serene and so very different to the New York of Times Square that I saw yesterday. I love this part of New York and...

Day 17: New York Got in last night and had an early night. Today, I'm gonna explore Times Square. It's exactly as it is on tv. On my must do lost was to go and see BB Kings Club and so that was my first stop. I bought a t-shirt and and magnet. Unfortunately the girl who worked in the store left me with a sour taste in my mouth, as she was so un helpful and just a plain b****! At night, I did a tour of New York on one of those open top tourist buses. It wen...
