Earlier in the year Kelly my fellow Fluxbabe and I went to New York and it was amazing!

When we arrived we wandered over to Times Square to have a bite to eat and found a lovely little Mexican Restaurant. We didn't stay out long as we were so tried after our flight (or probably something to do with our heavy night of alcohol abuse in the Hilton at Heathrow the night before!) so we headed back to our hotel.

The next morning I was up and ready for our day of sight seeing. I had it all planned!! We jumped in a Taxi down to Statton Island Ferry and took it across to the see Statue of Liberty. It was absolutely freezing on the ferry and I'm sure Kelly was cursing me as I think she would have preferred to be chilling out in Central Park or shopping!!

Anyway, I think she would agree it was definitely worth it.

That evening we walked up to the Rockafeller Centre to see the sights at night. It was a beautifully clear night and the views were spectacular. The bright lights and the buzz of the city below were sensational. From the top you could see the Empire State Building in all its glory.

The Next morning we were up at the crack of dawn for another day of sight seeing!! We sat in Bryant Park with a Starbucks coffee waiting for the doors of the Empire State Building to open. We waited in the queues to reach the top and once again we were greeted with fabulous views.

You could see for miles.

After taking about a million pictures, we left and decided to have a walk around the city. We came across New York's Public Library, Maddison Square Garden and then Maceys. We did a little shopping and then trekked to Fifth Avenue. We then came across Prada, Gucci, Elizabeth Arden, Versace, but needless to say we didn't do any shopping in there!

Then it came to our last day, we bought a few NYC souvenirs and decided to spend the last day chilling in Central Park. We walked from our hotel and came across an Easter Parade, everyone was dressed up in the most wonderful of costumes and the Easter bonnets were something that Blue Peter would definitely be proud of!!

We sat in Central Park and enjoyed the various street comedians and dancers that would just appear from nowhere and then just relaxed watching the world go by.

It was then time to leave this mesmerising city and say goodbye to The Big Apple!!!
