So, here we are in the Big Apple. We were up very early this morning to get to the airport to catch the 830 flight. It was all pretty uneventful, the flight was good and we arrived pretty much on schedule.
The queues at US immigration were huge and it took us about an hour to get through. Then we caught a yellow cab to the hotel.
We got a free upgrade to a better room at the hotel, which was good. The room is nice, not huge, but comfortable. Once we had dropped our stuff off we went for a walk.

Firstly we went to Grand Central Station, which is magnificent. The shops in there are pretty good too and there is a great food market.
From there we went to the Empire State Building and took the lift to the 86th floor and then up to the 102nd floor.
The view was magnificent and we spent a little while up there hoping that the sun would set and we would see the city lit up. Unfortunately, the sun resolutely stayed in the sky so we made our way back to street level and headed back to the hotel as we were both really tired.On the way we stopped at a taco restaurant for something to eat and drink before returning back to the hotel.
