The Highline

On Wednesday we got a yellow taxi to the highline - a lovely walk along a disused railway line in Greenwich village. It was about a mile and a half, and was quite busy, but very pleasant. 

 After our walk we then went to see the Chelsea Hotel, which was being renovated and therefore behind scaffolding.  There were several plaques of famous people who stayed there. 

We then walked through Greenwich village which seemed a very nice area, and made our way to the Strand book shop which has 18 miles of books!  It was a fantastic place and Hester bought a few books!

We then walked all the way back to 34th Street and did some more shopping!  Well it was our penultimate day!

Our last day in New York City!

We walked to Central Park - one of our favourite places.  We had good fun but it started to rain, so we headed back to our diner for our last meal in NYC.

We collected our luggage from the hotel and then got a taxi to JFK.

finally, after going through security, we were on the plane.

The plane flight was 5 and 1/2 hours long, and we met a taxi driver at the other side as well. It was lovely to arrive home, but we loved going to NYC too.

Farewell NYC!

See you again perhaps!
