New Yawk City

After a most eye-opening trip to Las Vegas we flew to New York via Miami, getting in around 7 at night and taking a shuttle bus to the hotel we were staying at. The driver of this particular shuttle bus could have given Schumacher a run for his money and seemed to model her driving on that of the woman from the movie Taxi.

New York wasn't what we expected, while it was a pretty impressive city and the people were a lot friendly than we were lead to believe, it was a little over-rated. I'ld liken it to the hype i'ld heard about Jurassic Park being a great movie and coming out of the cinema disappointed. New York has been the set for countless movies and tv shows so the culture, people and places are pretty much ingrained in our minds. Its probably because of that we thought that New York would be larger than life.

It was still pretty cool to see the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the Empire State building, the Wall Street bull, site of the World Trade Centre and funnily enough Gray's Papaya, a little hotdog shop made famous by that movie with Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek that I can't quite recall the name of.
