New York New York

My first ever trip to the Big Apple without a passport. I planned to take an amazing photo of the city but circumstances got in the way of that ambition so here is a photo of the ice rink by the hotel bar.

I am staying in a boutique hotel. Quirky but I prefer a Hilton. It is a familiarity thing I guess. There is only so much trendiness you can take post 40.

So my rant is about trains. You can fly all over the world and the process is always the same. Why are trains so different everywhere you go. The intercity to NYC was no different. Some bizarre ticket stub on back of seat thing was required which I got wrong. Also I took a seat in the quiet carriage. You had to be quiet!!! Lots of shushing and frowning.

Home tomorrow thankfully.
