Escape from New York

Last day in New York already! Been a fairly full-on week. Feels like i've walked about 20 miles a day, but still only seen a fraction of NY. There's just so much to do here, 5 days definitlely isn't enough. The food here is amazing with deli bars taking up most of new york, and the portion sizes bigger than an average person eats in a week. I've managed to see most of the main tourist attractions, times square, empire state building, rockefeller, met gallery, brooklyn bridge and managed to get in the audience for the david letterman show! Had the guy from 40-year old virgin on and some band, 'Band of Horses' that i'd never heard of. I whooped as good as any american. I've found walking the streets a really good way of getting to understand new york better, and a good way of knowing where not to go! The hostel is in chelsea, which is a fairly busy part of the city. Again, loads of deli bars, and a fairly random 'Bikini Bar' occupied by some even more random guys, apparently... I'll post some photos when i get the chance, of new york that is, not the crazy bar. So its off to L.A. tomorrow for 3 days then onto fiji... Keep you posted. P.
