Thirty Thirty Hotel New York New York City

So, arrived in New York last night with a face as green as mushy peas. Despite the fact that British Airways offer brilliant on flight entertainment (I mean who doesn't love the choice of about twenty films), we are not hardcore fans of flying. We both spent the entire landing with our heads in the complimentary sick bags (though we didn't actually use them). It wasn't pretty; New York, however, is. The people are really friendly, but that's probably because they know you're going to spend lo...

The Statue of Liberty is one of those must see locations in New York. If you tell people you've been to New York, they always ask you 'did you go to the Statue of Liberty?' It's right up there with the Empire State building and since we went there yesterday (though taller not as pretty as the Chrysler building), today we made the trip to Liberty Island. A word of advice, always make an advance booking. If you don't you'll end up like us and the hundreds of others who had to queue all the way ...

Friday was our last full day in New York. So, on our last day it did what England usually does best... it rained. Glad that we had already seen the big outdoor attractions of the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State building, Broadway etc, we headed back to Time Square for some indoor sight seeing. Madame Tussards may be all around the world but there seemed to be an added excitement in going to the one in New York, well at least for us. That's not saying much as having breakfast in a MacDonal...

We met Amelia and Vanessa at the airport, which exactly wasn't like it was supposed to happen (like in films). They were at the other end of the airport from where we were, which means that they weren't there to greet us as we came through the doors. We ended up ringing them and we met each other eventually. I expected tears, and I wasn't disappointed. La Guardia is a tiny airport and it felt like we belly-flopped onto the runway as we landed. At least we did better than the people who ended ...

We took a red-eye on Continental from San Diego to Newark and arrived at 5:55 AM.

Endelig i USA! Newark lufthavn ligger omkring 10 miles fra Manhattan og ligner enhver anden lufthavn - bare større! De har ikke et par båse til at checke pas i, de har 80! Men vi får hurtigt fundet et tog som tager os til Penn Station på Manhattan. Vi tager en taxa til vores hotel, ThirtyThirty. Som sjovt nok er nummer 30 på gade nummer 30.

If you haven't been to New York, come! If you have been here before, come again! New York is just a fantastic city to visit, and always something new you can do, taste, experience or just observe. Erik was waiting at Penn Station, good to see him again after 6 months away. Yes, this is the picture of him from Chinatown. Did not take a pic immediately when I saw him ;-) We stayed at Thirty Thirty hotel on...yes you guessed it...30th Street. Decent hotel, for me pure Western luxury after living...
