Dates

8th to the 15th of February we'll be in New York! (concrete jungle where dreams are made of) Then on to Los Angeles for the next 10 days. From the 25th to the 14th of March we'll be island hopping around Fiji. We then spend the next month in New Zealand jumping on and off buses slowly making our way from Christchurch on the South Island to Auckland on the North Island. From the 14th of April to the 28th we'll be in and around Cairns, Australia. And then for the finale we'll be spending just over a month on a round trip encompassing Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Arriving home on the 4th of June. Jealous much?

Friday, 12 February 2010

Well today we woke up to the sounds of yet another snoring person! It also turns out that during the night the person sleeping under henry changed beds and a new person arrived... very mysterious... we decided to have the equivalent of a lazy day so we stayed in the hostel until around 12. we did eventually leave and followed Phoebe's advice and went out in search of the elusive central park zoo. We've already walked through central park many times and it astounded us that we hadbn't stumbled across it yet! What was also astounding was us having not known about or seen the massive reservoir in the middle. It took us about half an hour to walk round it. We eventually found the zoo right at the bottom of the park in the South-East end of it, it wasn't that big but the animals were pretty impressive ranging from the polar bears and the penguins to the sea lions and the sloths. After the zoo henry insisted on going to the Museum of Modern Art, I wanted to put it off till tomorrow but he wouldn't budge. So on we went, it was nice in the museum with the Tim Burton exhibit being particularly interesting although overcrowded. It might seem to the outside observer that all we do is go between museums and attractions however it does take an awful lot of walking to get between places. For example the empire state building which we've visited twice is on 34th street and our hostel is on 103rd street. Approximately 20 blocks is a mile so Just to get there and back is 7 miles! Anyway on with the story, Henry also wanted against mybetter judgement one of those dirty kebab things they sell at the street vendors. So we went in search of one but couldnt find any so we had to settle for a hot dog, which were admittedly very nice. Then we strolled the 2 miles back to our hostel. Anyway we have to go now as we're running out of minutes on the internet, byeeee.
