New York Visit (Saturday)

Our final day was only really half a day as we had to head off to JFK at 1.30pm which only gave us the morning. Being thrifty and having found nice jewellery shop on Broadway not far from the hotel, we headed there after breakfast to pick up some gifts for family back home. However the shop was not very well stocked and the items we wanted were not there. So we decided on a mad dash down to the Village at 8th St where there was another branch with the things we wanted. Timed to perfection, we arrived back at the hotel, collected our luggage and headed to the airport for our late afternoon flight back to Paris and then onto Manchester. After the time differences and the extra hour jump for daylight savings (as it was the end of October) we were thoroughly disoriented and rather worn out.

We would recommend New York City to anyone who has never been. I'm sure we could have stayed for a month and still not have seen everything. I will have great memories of our week there that had some spectacular highlights. Would we go back? - Yes but not until we'd visited some other parts of the US.
