Chinatown New York City

So I figured that if I want to be a successful travel journalist, I should really start a blog. I used to write a lot when I was younger. My primary days were filled with non-fiction stories about vampires and candy, whereas my high school days portrayed more of a blog structure, things concerning life, emotions and well-being. I know I want to mix …

...Ok, nicht wirklich Berge aber etwas höhere Hügel. Das wäre ja nicht weiter erwähnenswert - es sei denn, man sitzt auf einem Fahrrad und muss den Hügel rauffahren. Und das, wo man doch im Urlaub ist. Wir haben es aber geschafft und mit Fotopausen eine ca. 2,5-stündige Radtour durch den Central Park gemacht. Die wichtigsten Stops waren bei den …

Today didn't exactly start off with a bang. I slowed down our early start by having a very long coffee with our host, Mark and asking him a ton of questions.

Mark works as a nursing/medical teacher, a nude model for art students and a masseur amongst other things. He likes drawing, appreciates art and has a lot of artist friends.

A sleep in this morning, set us back with regards to how much time we had to sight see but helped us get over the last of our jet lag.

We didn't want to do too much today as Danielle our friend from Ireland isn't due in NY until tomorrow and most sights we want to see, she will want to see …

Het is 2330 en we zijn net binnen van de musical Little Mermaid. Een Disney Musical met heel veel mooie decors en effecten. Onze plekken waren heel erg mooi, weliswaar gekocht in een aanbieding, nog niet echt goedkoop maar we zaten gewoon wel de 2e rij vanaf het podium! Alles dus van heel dichtbij kunnen bekijken in een uitverkocht theater voor zo' …

Die 2,5 Tage in New York haben sich gelohnt obwohl man, wenn man sich einen straffen Zeitplan setzt auch wirklich nicht mehr Zeit in NY verbringen muss.
Fangen wir mit dem einzigen negativen an, dass mir über NY in erinnerung geblieben ist. Die Luft. Wenn man NY im Sommer bereist und das Pech hat einen sehr heißen Tag zu erwischen, dann besteht …

Ben & Franzi waren acht einfach beeindruckende Tage in der Weltmetropole New York City. Eine Stadt die auf jedenfall einen Besuch wert ist und wie gut man da shoppen kann :) Ein Traum für jede Frau!!!!
