New York, New York

New York was AMAZING!! I've been before, but going back just before Christmas was completely different. It was also great to see Jenn since she's been travelling since the start of August. Plus, there's nothing like a trip to help you escape from reality for a week.

Day 1/2
I didn't arrive at my hotel until 11pm (that's 4am UK time) on Sunday night. So i pretty much just went to bed, but good old jet lag kicked in so i was awake a few hours later. Monday morning started with giant pancakes before i took my first trip to Macy's. Then i went to meet Jenn and David for food, cocktails, and a trip to Toys R Us. 



Day 3
The joy of snow wore off pretty quickly on Tuesday, and it wasn't helped by the wind and -2 degree temperature. Although it was kind of nice to feel like you've stepped inside a Home Alone movie. So we decided to go for pancakes, walked around Times Square, and then went to see the Rockefeller Center. And then at night, we took our first trip to the theatre to see Wicked!



Day 4
On Wednesday, we walked around eating cake batter ice cream while everyone stared at us like we were crazy. Then we took on a matinee performance of Phantom of the Opera, which was great apart from the slightly confusing ending. 


Day 5
Thursday was my favourite day of the entire trip. We took a walk up to The Met so we could pretend we were in Gossip Girl, and then spent the afternoon ice skating in Central Park.



Day 6
HI BROOKLYN!! We crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, drank the strongest drinks for $4 each, and then Jenn and David ended the night with a giant argument. I guess this is what happens we you drink lots on an empty stomach!
