A very touristy day before we head off for London tomorrow.
Laundry- headed over to Hells Kitchen to our local laundromat and a haircut. Raphael took much more care than I do in the bathtub with the buzz cutter. Ol school barber shop, forgot what it felt like;)
Just got back from the Empire State Building, wow, NY is a big city. Brooklyn looks bigger than Adelaide, and it was great to see the other classic buildings like the Flatiron and Chrysler (trav's fave) from the air rather than street level.
Today is the coldest day we have had for a while, and up 86 floors outside we were glad the railings were so high as we felt like we were going to be blown over.
On the way home (the hotel) it started to snow, this is the first time I have seen real snow (Trav). It was pretty cool at first, but then the wind picked up and it felt like ice chips being shot at you. I'm not looking forward to a real snow fall.
Back at the hotel now where I can form words again. It is so cold that I lost feeling in my lips and face. BOM says it feels like minus 9c.
Off to a broadway play starring Samuel L in a few hours, and will try to fit in some jazz on the way home.
Will miss the city but well and truly time to move on- its pace, opportunity and accessibility mean that it is hard to sit still for too long without feeling like you are missing out on something.
Funniest thing happened today. Rach was approached by a hawker in the street (there are many) wanting to sell comedy tickets. The automatic response is 'no thankyou'.
Rach saw a guy coming, his opening line was 'do you like black people?'. Rach's 'no thankyou' was hilariously timed and I gave the guy a high five for the most inventive approach yet.
