Day 30: New York City
June 25: Yes I'm finally in New York City, and having a great time... but have had issues trying to find an internet cafe. Moved into another room in the hostel, this time from a dorm to my own room with a single bed - not bad... for the next 6 nights.
Did a few touristy things today - including going up the Empire State Building (great day to do it, could see for miles!) and a cruise that went the whole way around Manhattan Island, and of course passed Ellis Island and the State of Liberty. Also did a sightseeing tour of upper Manhattan including Central Park, Harlem, Dakota Apartments, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, 5th Avenue, Times Square, various Museums and more.
Very hot again today, trying to live it up in the heat!
Met up with a friend, Adam tonight and went to a nice lounge bar to celebrate a friend's birthday. Great hanging out with the locals... another side to NYC.
