And here’s a highlight
Seemed the least I could do after an amazing week – so headed off to the launderette. Coming back I reckon it weighed close to 15kg – bit like a medium suitcase – and 3 flights of stairs was quite a workout. I can see why it’s Jo’s least favourite activity, especially when it’s 30 degrees as well!
Last coffee
Then a final catch up with another old friend
And a pretty easy trip back – 150mph tailwind meant only a 6 hour flight.
Walked the Highline
My first ever Broadway Show
A fabulous night out to end my trip.
Here goes
Early morning
Gracie Mansion (The Mayor’s House)
Meeting an old friend again
Midtown
I don’t think there’s going to be much more to be said, apart from
So here goes:
Met up for Brunch after a spinning class in East Village/Noho
And lots of other views
Jo had suggested, before I came, that we attempt Manhattan top to bottom. A bit like this …
It’s 26km, and walking time was just under 5 hours. And it was great until the last hour or so when we were a bit tired and cold. As you can see, a beautiful day, but chilly on the last day of November.
The beginning (225th Street)
Pit Stop
Lunch
If you need carbs, how about a mac ‘n cheese pizza
Some of the best bits
The End
It’s a city made for walking. I’m also a bit of a walker.
Morning walk – it was always going to be quiet (relatively) on the roads, so this was a great opportunity to walk around Central Park rather than through it.
Just over 2 hours if you’re interested.
Then more exploring. I’d been underwhelmed by Brooklyn Bridge before so thought I’d give it another chance. Still underwhelmed.
But a great view after sundown
