Dinner yesterday was awesome, and after all the walking, two glasses of Riesling had me giggling halfway through our pasta/pizza meal. We went to bed early, to get up at 7.30 this morning for the 3 hour boat tour of New York. Which was the best spent 35 dollars ever, by the way. It was a fantastic way to see the diversity of the city, and the guide was hilarious, but not in an obnoxious way. The weather was great, and with a cold Budweiser in one hand and my camera in the other I was in heaven.
Afterward we made our second attempt to relocate ourselves through the means of public transportation, (we took the subway yesterday, which was crowded, and a big disappointment compared to the oh, so fantastic metrosystem in Barcelona), this time by bus. Mary Grace had to explain the more than slightly annoyed busdriver that she obviously wasn't from here, and failed to insert the metrocard correctly. Twice. We finally arrived at the Museum of Natural History, which would have been a much better experience if: a) it was less crowded, b) the batteries on my camera weren't flat, c) our feet weren't so sore. But definitely worth a visit. Today I learned for the umpteenth time that high heels are not to be worn sightseeing. Unless you're on a Sex and the City tour bus, which we will be tomorrow.
Tonight we're having dinner at Serendipity, which is famous for it's frozen hot chocolate. Yum.
There were 312 photos on my cameras from my first 2,5 days in New York, so you'll have to do with a random selection (there are more on facebook). Enjoy! :)
