On the last full day before returning to The Netherlands we went to Soho for some last minute shopping. In the evening we went up the Empire State Building to the 102nd floor, what a fantastic view! After that we lowered down to the 86th floor to watch the sunset over New York City.
At the very last day we decided to pay a visit to Central Park. We took a tour on a bicycle cart around the park. We came across the fountain where the intro of Friends was shot, the John Lennon memorial and some other things. After Central Park we went to Times Square so Boy and Dope could do some very last minute shopping. :) We went back to our hotel to collect our luggage, ordered a taxi and went to JF Kennedy Airport.
The flight back didn't went smooth at all. The long flight back to London we met quite some heavy turbulence. I love flying, but at some point during that flight even I became quite nervous. The airplane was shaking heavily and met some falling a few times. When we landed, I was glad. But then we had to wait 3,5 hours before our flight from London left to Amsterdam. While we were in the plane, the aircraft had some technical issues, so we had to wait an additional 2 hours before take off. Luckily our luggage didn't get checked in The Netherlands, we could walk right through out of the gate.
Currently recovering from a Jetlag, I am missing New York already. :( No more Starbucks everywhere you see, cheap tasty food, cheap shopping, yellow cabs, talkative and friendly people on the streets or shops... :(
