Well… another fabulous day in this fabulous city!!!!

I must admit though, it did start off a little bumpy… as I didn’t realise that banks do not open here on Saturdays… and I was out of cash (well…. I had enough to scrape through… but I am here to have fun… not scrape through). I landed up having to run around downtown Manhatten trying to find an HSBC that was open… none of them were. I came back to the hotel and asked the lovely manager if he knew where I could change travelers cheques on a Saturday… and he kindly changed $100 for me…. so that made my day.

I left the hotel after that and made my way on the C train to Columbus Circle where I started a small walk of Central Park. It is huge… much like the rest of this city!
I have never seen to many cyclists and runners in all my time! Fabulous sight!!!! I walked around to the Sheepsmeadow and lay on the grass there for about half an hour… taking in the sights (nothing like a fe barely clad american guys playing frisbee!!!!!) After that, I made my way to the The American Museum of Natural History. It is unbelievable. I thought it was great. I did the planetarium… ($19!!!) and then walked around laughing at the Americans trying to pronounce Gemsbok! It is quite funny.

I left the museunm and made my way back to the hotel… after planning my route I headed back to the downtown area on the peanut train… and headed for the Staten Island Ferry. I did the whole ferry thing… but never left the terminal at Staten Island as Jane told me there wasn’t much to see… and anyway… it was getting a bit late by this time.

Tomorrow I am not too sure what I am going to do… but we shall see what happens after I have fought for the right to use the shower. Anyway…. its going to cloud over tonight and piss down with rain… so that should be arseloads of fun tomorrow running around with my umbrella from Edinburgh!!!

Gotta go… time is running out.

Moondrops and sunshine….
