0 comments 2nd day in New York. With a plan we had made the night before on how to fully utilize the New York pass, we started our day with a 75min ferry ride along the Hudson river towards downtown manhattan ad back up again. The ride was interesting enough or the first part. With a tour guide providing information and background stories to the skyline of the cities of new jersey and manhattan. On the way back however I fell alseep and didn't catch much of the continued stories. But it was nice, and you got to cruise pass the statue of liberty too.

We proceeded on to our 2nd stop, Madame Tussands wax musume! It was a cool encounter with the stars and famous people of history too! But the stars don't always look like what they appear to be on TV and it was hard trying to recognise them. Most were fortunaely easy enough to spot and it was a ball of fun posing or photos with the figurines.

King Tut! The Egyptian boy king. The exhibition was in New York and of course with didn't miss it. It was amazing, all the artifacts recovered and the stories behind it. If only I knew more to fully appreciate the wonders of the ancient egyptian world. If more time were granted, I'd recommand getting the audio guide. Probably they have more information on each artifact. That is if u are really keen on knowing the history. If not, just looking around at the short write ups will be enough.

Every city has a skyscrapper you have to visit. In New york's case, it's 2. Rockefellar centre... A full hours wait to get to the top. Pretty view of central park and a day view of te city. Not bad but nor worth that long a wait.. The elevator was cool though. It had a glass top that showed how fast you where travelling up and downwards.

So you are in time square new york. How could anyone miss a broadway performance? With the endless choices of shows each night. Queues were long too to get discounted tickets for last minute shows that night. We gt ourselves tickets to the west side story. But because wicked was sold out till aug 11 and so were Billy Elliot and the Addams family. I just love musicals no matter how cheesy the story line gets. It's just the music, live orchasra, singers and he dances that draws me into it. Amazing.. I'll definately catch a musical again when I can. But when I have the budget. To get good seats and also a show like Wicked. (:







0 comments And so we are in New York with no clue on where we want to visit. Haha but we have about half the day to look around and decide.

So after half a day of looking around, we settled on the New York pass which is 120 dollars for 2 days. And 30 over free entries to various attractions all over New York. We even checked out the broadway show tickets and bought west side story tickets for the night,

And so it began put eventful 2 days in New York. Alot of walking, sightseeing and more walking...

The streets of New York are relatively easy to navigate. Orderly and in sequence. Ave 123 street 456 and so on.. No problems finding our way around the place and with our hostel just 2 streets from times square, nothing was too far either.

Only problem was, after leaving such a comfortable place in Florida, living in a hostel felt like so big a change. And from the sub urbs of Land O Lakes to the skyscrappers of New York, I felt out of place. Like a monkey in the city..






0 comments Awesome day! But I now have random aching spots on my body. Not too many though. Guess hiking in yellowstone did make me fitter or something. Ha!

We went to the most amazing house today. If we thought Spencer's place was nice, omg scotts place is 5 times that. Replace the pool with a lake and a boat.. And they even have the cutest dogs chole and Murphy. Gus is cute too I most emphasis. He's a snorting snoring dog who's the king of his house. Haha

Ok back to the house. We went tubing on the lake! Awesome. It was just hang on the float for your life and don't fall off. While the driver of the boat aims to throw you off the float. For a warm up, me and Lettie got on for a few rounds and they was relatively easy on us.

Until Spencer joined in. Omg, with lesser space, handles and Spencer on the float, the level of difficultly skyrocketed! We were screaming hitting each other during he bumps, climbing on each other for more grip and everything. It was a mess on the float. Laughing, screaming and grabbing at the same time is not a easy thing to do. Soon one of us would be thrown in the water.

But it sure was a whole load of fun.

I love water!
