Empire State Building New York City

Entry containing 1 photo titled: Hola

Today I visited three other famous places in New York. I started the day by visiting the Natural History Museum, my favourite exhibit was 'The World's largest Dinosaurs'. It was extremely busy, but I guess it is one of the largest, most visited museums in the world!!! Next I took the subway to the Gugghenheim Museum which is it is one of the 20th …

Om 08.30 opgestaan en Lot gaf aan over een klein uur bij de trein te willen staan..dus snel een ontbijt gehaald en toen naar de trein. We zouden met haar meegaan naar de universiteit en haar kamer op de campus om te zien hoe zij de afgelopen 5 maanden heeft gewoond!

Vanaf het station van Hempstead rijdt elk uur speciaal een bus naar …

Efter en skakig landning i New York där praktiskt taget alla runt mig mådde dåligt så var det dags att kliva av planet. Ledsagningen fungerade klockrent, det kändes lite fånigt att sitta i rullstol förbi immigrationen, men det vägdes upp av att jag slapp stå i den evighetslånga immigrationskön.

Taxin var förbokad och visste till och med …

You can't help but get excited when you arrive in New York. The amount of people who have said to me before and on this trip, "oh you will love New York" has been ridiculous. The pessimist in me straight away was like "great, New York is going to suck because everyone keeps talking it up". However, New York lived up to its high expectations.

OMG it is freezing, I don't know what the temperature is, probably around 10 degrees and windy and raining constantly.  It was so nice yesterday afternoon, everyone out in Times Square in shorts and tshirts.  It went from summer to winter overnight. We wanted to get out of the hotel early and get our sightseeing started but we had a rough …

Vandaag de eerste van de 3 dagen met de New York Pass, we starten na een goed ontbijt in het hotel bij het Rockefeller Center. Daar halen we kaartjes voor de tour door de NBC studios, we kunnen om 1200 uur terecht. Tot die tijd gaan we naar het uitzichtspunt, Top of the Rock, van het Rockefeller Center. Het uitzicht is mooi, hoewel het niet extreem …

Gisteren was bijna de gehele dag bewolkt met een hoge vochtigheidsgraad, Koen had nergens last van dus ik was wel blij toen we op een roltrap door twee Nederlanders aangesproken werden en zij als echte Nederlanders klaagden over het benauwde weer. Vandaag is het weer beter. We gaan op tijd weg en kopen om 0900 uur al onze tickets voor de Empire …

Wow is a powerful word. Simple in form but wrapped in immense and complex variety. On one hand it describes the essence that something beholds or a factor one strives to convey in a product. On the other, a powerful emotion that boils the blood with adrenalin and forges memories etched forever in our minds. A desire that infiltrates our dreams and …

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 …
