Even though it made me the tiredededest EVER, I had the most incredible time. We did all the general sight seeing and SHOPPING. Oh the shopping was radical! Felt like a tiny fish in the biggest ocean but it was a fab feeling!
Times Square was insane, even more insane than I remembered it. I've learnt the Upper East Side isn't all posh and whatnot. Infact some part are quite ghetto - ahem 73rd and York ave! Is it normal for criminals to pose as police in order to commit crimes against residents? Not sticking around to find out! 5 nights was enough there!
Dawn got mugged off by some 'charity' people. I say charity loosely as they were collecting so their high school basketball team could go on holiday to Florida....not really the kinda of charity I want to be giving to. They managed to squeeze a dollar out of me but it the jackpot with Dawn at $20. Mental. We got over it by our trip on the Staten Island Ferry which was great! Bloody busy but great all the same.
Came accross some proper rude people and some seriously nice folk. i.e Charlie our second taxi driver with his tales of being a new york city cab driver, and Micha, our lovely waitress in Bubba Gump Shrimp! Best restaurant ever ever ever! Can't wait to go back!
I can honestly say my feet have never been so sore from walking. Literally would collapse into bed every night! Totally worth it though, the best way to see everything. We did Rockafeller Center at night and the Empire State Building in the day - both incredible. The views were indescribable. I have pics on Facebook but for your viewing pleasure here is the contrast -
Truly amazing. I couldn't ever imagine living there, I couldn't keep up! The way of life is so busy, and they tip using notes! Ugh!
We packed up our stuff after our trip of a life time and headed to the airport (a full 10 hours before our flight....insane) however we did catch a glimpse of none other than Samuel L Jackson on our flight home! "Get these Motherfuckin' snakes of this Motherfuckin' plane!" Bahahaha, seriously wanted him to re-enact a scene or something! Except obvs without actual real snakes. Eesh.
Great, great holiday and I will definitely be going back! One of my favourite places in the world for sure. Next Stops Vegas and Florida! Yessssssssss!
