21st – 26th August 2007
Well I am sitting in JFK airport now waiting to fly to Spain, trying to think of what to write about NY City. We did so much more then what I would have planed and looking at the photos it’s like we almost never took the camera out... bummer!
The great thing about NY was that a few of our mates from camp are locals and I think that there must have been a solid 15 of us that all met up in NY from Camp, so they took care of the night life (I don’t think there was a single night that we got to bed before 1am.
In the day time we broke of into smaller groups to explore the city. Top highlights being things like the Statue of Liberty at night via the Staten Island Ferry... free woot-woot. Time square and the size of the shops (see the lego photos.) The Empire State Building. Oh we went to a stand up comadey show at the New York Comedy Club, tickets only $5 but the small writing was a 2 drink minimum @ $10 each for a beer (grrr it still burns.) But right at the top of the list was being in the live audience for Fox Networks Good Morning Show. So much fun! We just got randomly selected while walking around Rockefeller Centre. I won a bag of girly goodies nail polish etc and Matt got dragged into a dance competition in the commercial brake, but after seeing the first funky old black guy dance he decided to cut his loses and busted out this corny song and dance from camp called “Big fish little fish”... so funny, he got the whole audience and stage crew doing it... including the front row that was full of beauty queens, I almost pissed myself laughing.
Time started to drag a bit towards the last few days in NY. I got a bit sick from just all the pollution I think, can’t wait to get to somewhere that I can take a deep breath of fresh air.
We left booking our accommodation till the last minute and ended up at a YMCA hostel in Harlem, but by the sounds of it the facilities and price were way better then what everyone else had. We became regular subway goers that wasn’t any were near as scary as I thought it would be.
Well that’s about it for NYC, it was a blast hanging out with everyone from camp. Once again sorry the photos suck.
