Day 41: New York, NY

Monday 31 May 2010

We got the subway to Chambers St. and got breakfast on Canal St., then wandered through Chinatown, Little Italy and SOHO for a few hours. When we got to Washington Square Park there were loads of people sun-baking and frolicking in the fountain. There was also a bunch of photographers doing a shoot of a young couple jumping around in the water which was interesting to watch for a while. I also ran into a girl shooting 3D pics with 2 Canon IXUS point and shoot cameras connected with a contraption she bought online for $700.00!!!

We made our way back up to Midtown and Tents and Caddy wanted to check out Macy’s but I was over the mad shoppers and said I’d go back to the hotel and chill for a couple of hours before dinner. So I jumped on the A,C,E line and forgot that the E train diverted to Queens. I was so spaced out that I didn’t realize until I was there. So by the time I got the right trains back to the hotel, the boys were already chillin’ with a beer in the AC.

My old friends from Uni, Jason and Kristine, met us in Hell’s Kitchen for an awesome Thai dinner then we wandered on foot all the way down to 14th Street and just hung out for a while. NY somehow tends to make you walk more than any other city I’ve ever been to and a combination of that, the crowds and the heat had started to take its tool and we ended up home before midnight.
