Farewell NYC

Well I have a bit of time to kill this morning so I thought i'd quickly do my last post from New York City. It's been a great time here, tho new york is really not me at all, way too busy, way too 'in your face' and it reminds me too much of London. There's been some really cool people in the hostel with us, some Brizlillian guy came in last night and he knows a guy back home that runs the church that Kaka went to, theres Michael who is the nicest guy you've ever met, he's pretty much been everywhere in America and knows everything about it. He even bought Add a huge bottle of Becks because we gave him 2 paracetemol tablets, what a legend!

So yeah, tonight we'll be in Washington DC with George Bush and same tomorrow night, then we will be driving accross to Indianapolis, where we seriously have no idea what we will do as we don't know anything about it! Can't wait!

NYPD

So today we went for a walk down Harlem and found a gospel choir, we sat at the back loving every minute of it, I haven't seen so many people singing 'thank you jesus' in all my life. Was brilliant!

Then we took the tube into town, had a walk around and went to Wall Street, then on to Brooklyn Bridge. Once we got there, there was a police guy standing there with his aviators on, so Add and George (our new english room mate) took a pic of him, he then came storming at us and grabbed Add's camera shouting at him to let go of it. He then shouted at us asking how to delete them.. followed by asking Add how old he was, asking 'do you wanna be 23??' once he deleted the pictures we asked him what was going on and he shouted in our faces if we would like it if someone came along and took photos of us while we were working. He was shouting everything at us and really wasn't happy. I'll tell you now i'll be glad to leave New York, it really does kinda suck in my opinion.

We leave tomorrow morning and getting the bus down to Washington D.C. where we will stay a night or 2.

Hi there heat

Ok, so its 8:25am and I've been up about 20 mins. It was really hot in the hostel room last night and I woke up covered in sweat. We went down and told them it was so hot and he turned the temperature down, probably half a degree as it made no difference. So I had a shower, a cold one, at 6am. Got back in bed, woke up at half 7 covered in sweat again.

Probably the most pointless shower I have ever had. Funny stuff.

I'm now writing this in my pants stannding next to the airvent mounted on the window. Nice.

Don't feel tired at all so it's not so bad either, going to go watch some champions league today at lunch. Add's laptop isnt working properly so we're taking that back too. Brilliant.

New York, New York,

Landed in New York JFK yesterday. After the awfully mapped out train from the airport into downtown Manhatten we found our hostel, right in the middle of Harlem.

It's pretty damn cool, yesterday we walked through central park, took way too many pictures of the squirrels. Wandered down to Times Square which was amazing too.

We were asleep by 8:30 last night due to the jet lag. Were up at 7am this morning so left he hostel to go for a walk again at 7:30. Took another stroll through central park, then down to the Rockerfella tower, took some good pics at the top of there.

Come back to the hostel now and just relaxing before we go into the city again to go up the tower again at night (night shots here I come!)
