    Back in Boston

    7. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Sorry folks, no wifi in New London, back on deck now. Rained most of the time in New London unfortunately but we managed to have a good time. Lovely to see Andrew and where he has been living for the last 4 years and to meet his mates. Andrew & his girlfriend Jackie had lunch & dinner with us on Friday. Our accommodation was an old villa kept beautifully, shame it was so wet outside. Graduation was awesome and Andrew looked so good in his gown & cap. Went to graduation party in the arvo & met some lovely people. Andrew has some wonderful friends. Thanks to Peg, Tuckers Mom for driving us to the bus this morn.Les mer

    Dinner with the lads & their partners at their favourite bar in Boston called Yard House. Mike & Mark even joined them in half a yard. Sad to say goodbye to Andrew & his fantastic group of mates. Shame they couldn't all make it. Ryan liked his NZ beanie!!!Les mer

    The Big Apple

    10. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    Wow, this is massive, getting out of Penn Station a mission and a half, thank goodness for Mr Uber and IT Manager Julie. Our apartment is 'long and narrow ' but has everything we want. First on the itinerary was Ground Zero, a real highlight with great tour guide. Very moving and well done, in fact, very humbling. A must do for anyone who comes to New York, it is hard to describe our individual feelings, you need to experience this yourselves in order to appreciate the gravity of the event.Les mer

    Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

    11. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    6.15am start this morning, uber to Battery Park to catch the ferry with MANY others, fortunately only twenty in our tour group. Tour guide knowledgable but bit long winded. Lady Liberty is a massive structure, one can only wonder, and with the knowledge we have now it is an absolute miracle that they achieved the build with no loss of life. Left there & ferried to Ellis Island where so many immigrants arrived for their new life in the US.Les mer

    Central Park

    11. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    After quick uber from Battery Park to Central Park, and a quick lunch nearby we took a horse and gig ride for 45 mins through Central Park. Our horseman was a typical Irishman with an accent we picked immediately. He was a chatty Irishman pointing out all the movie sites in the park and where the celebrities reside.Les mer

    The Bronx

    13. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    Today we travelled to the Bronx and went to the zoo, believe it or not!! Arriving at the gate we were confronted by around 100 school buses and hundreds of kids - just our luck but the zoo is over 200 acres and we hardly saw the kids, 😊 The zoo was great, we did an enormous amount of walking, also taking the monorail for a short time. Good to get home and put our feet up. Julie and I have become adept at going out to the local grocery store for provisions.Les mer

    Wet New York

    14. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    Yesterday was one of those days, caught up on sleep then decided to get out of our cramped quarters, out into a very wet & windy day, even had my umbrella turn inside out. Very cold too. Thank goodness for Starbucks on every second corner. The four of us made an executive decision to go back home. Julie and Mark ventured again and bought provisions and the most needed pack of cards, pity they did that really as they anhilated Mike & I at 500.Les mer

    16. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Great hop on hop off bus today sussing out what we want to visit the next couple of days. Arlington Cemetery to visit JFK gravesite & the eternal flame. Changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown was amazing. Next stop Lincoln Memorial. Well worth the climb up the steps (with millions of others) to look down on the reflecting pool and across to the Washington Monument.Les mer

    Capitol Hill

    16. mai 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Little walk down our road is Capitol Hill so off we toddled this morning to join the crowds. We managed join a tour immediately, right time, right place!!! Architecture is amazing, no words can describe it really, absolutely beautiful. Our guide was great, passionate about the history of his country and worth listening to. From there we went to the Museum of American Indian History, fascinating. A short stroll to the Space Museum which was amazing, so many exhibits, plus so many people . Think everyone was inside for the air conditioning as it is so hot here. Tomorrow is going to be worse - 34degrees.Les mer
