So today was day 1 of my American adventure
We left the lovely hotel at the airport and
Jumped onto the Q6 bus to are us to the
E train which bought us
To Manhattan
We got of at 63rd & Lexington and hoped into a taxi
Down to The Roosevelt Hotel on E45 Street
It is 10:30 am and couldn't check into the hotel till 3pm
So we dumped the bags at the hotel and
Went out on an adventure for the day
We headed to Times Square
On the way the streets were closed due to an amazing
Street market with loads of stalls of food and clothing
And all kinds of goodies
It was amazing
It ended in Times Square where
We did the full length and breath of it seeing all the sights
From there we stopped for a drink in an Irish bar
Before setting of to scale the Empire State Building
After getting to the top and going on
This NY skyline ride in the building
Which I do not recommend
Especially it you suffer from motion sickness
We got into the lift and made it to the 80th floor
Where there was a 45 minute wait to get to the observation deck
But the lady said if you don't mind walking up the
Last 6 floors of stairs it will be quicker
Don't let them fool you it wasn't quicker and it was 9 flights of stairs
And there was 167 of them
So be warned
But made it to the top and
it was a beautiful sunny day and the views were breathtaking
So that concludes day 1
Tomorrow we head to Newark Airport to
Pick up the car and drive down to Washington, D.C.
