So we made it back to New York on the china town bus which was cheap as chips and as fast as scones. Got into town at about 9ish.. with sydney, went to the hotel she had booked, checked in and chilled out. Very nice, its a ramada, but she got us a cheap deal on it so it wasnt too bad. Me and sydney went and got a slice of pizza and b.rock checked his email, i slept on the floor that night as there was only 2 double beds and i ddnt fancy sharing, but brendan has the floor tonight! We woke up today and walked for a long long walk down to central park, we are on 34th. Walked around the park, saw the dakota building, strawberry fields etc. Was really great. We then went for lunch in this very quirky (sanctuary esque) place called serindepidy 3. It was great if not a bit on the pricey side but syd recomended it so we obliged. We then got the metro back up to the hotel and took a nap as we were all shattered with v sore feet. that was about 5, got up at 7 and headed out for the empire state. Stopped for dinner on the way at this japanese place, teryaki beef, average! then we walked to the empire state and went on up! Its just as breathtaking the second time, lots of great pictures and the views streched for 30 miles aparently tonite. Walked back via a street which felt like it had every single homeless person in new york on it, including one doing a poo.. very attractive! got back to the hotel and me and b.rock decided to head over to a 24hr burger king that has v cheap internet so that is where we are now, sydneys in the room doing a bit of school reading and we are out here doing a bit of home writing. Cant wait to get home now, still having an awesome awesome time, but im defo ready for home!! Right think thats about it, me and brendan are new york pros now, we know the streets, how to cross them like locals, we feel right at home, its hilarious cos im sure we still look like a pair of tourists but we feel the business! gona go.. lots of love to u all! xxxx
