Day 39 - New York

Had a bit of a sleep in this morning, then breaky and off exploring New York! We hired some bikes for the day and headed off to Central Park. It is so big!! We watched the ducks and the turtles in the lake. The turtles were tiny and so cute! Stopped for morning tea and watched one of the many softball games going on in the park. It was very serious and there was lots of agro in one  of them.


Rode over to 112th street to take a photo (or 50 - Ian was very particular lol) of the restaurant front used in Seinfeld.


We rode back to the park and stopped for lunch at Harlem Meer, another lake with lots of turtles and fish. There were even people fishing!!



Back on the bikes and we rode to the American Museum of Natural History. Spent a couple of hours wondering around and trying to find the exhibits from Night at the museum! The museum itself is huge, I think you would need a couple of days to see the whole lot. We saw the dinosaurs, the animals, the Big Bang theatre and a few other exhibits before we realised the time and thought we had better head off.

We rode back into Central Park, went past Strawberry Fields, the tribute to John Lennon, and Central Park Zoo. I had been riding with one leg all day as my right leg hurt to bend so my leg was getting really sore by this stage!

Took the bikes back and then headed back to the hotel. Stopped and bought a new case as our other one got ripped on the flight here, and decided to get dinner on the way back as it was 6.30pm by this stage. After much begging from Caitlin we decided to try Chipotle. Huge serves, we ordered 3 between 5 and we were all too full! It was okay but I think Taco Bell is still the favourite at the moment.

Back to the hotel to do diaries and for the kids to watch Big Hero 6 on TV while Ian and I planned the next few days.
