Arrival in New York





Our hotel, The Algonquin http://www.algonquinhotel.com/

Is on West 44th street.

Very atmospheric and friendly our porter-Kevin took us up tour room and settled us in. Jack Jones is playing in the ‘famous oak room’, check out the website for all the gen.

We showered and sorted our selves out then went for an explore. It was 3.15 pm local time, 9.15pm at home.

We turned right outside the hotel and walked down to Times square. http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/

Wow, it is overwhelming in real life, not a square but an elongated triangle shape and busy busy!! We decided to ride the open top tour bus downtown. Grey line city tours. We sat right in the front at` the top. Our guide –John was so knowledgeable. We arrived back about two hour later, chilly and exhausted. We ate in the Hard Rock Café, right on times square, we were hungry so a burger did the job. We strolled back to the hotel and fell asleep by 9.pm.
