Up for breakfast at 9.30 and we then took the luggage to New York airport and booked them into a luggage storage area and caught the subway into “Nu Yark”. We then did Times Square, Broadway, the Jewish garment distract and lunch at a “real” Nu Yark deli – Roxy’s Deli.
Another hour or so wandering around the same area saw us draw the brief NY section to a close’ and we took the subway back to the airport.
There are some interesting things to do on the NY subway. You can do the Soduku book, read the paper or even read a book “The Idiots Guide to Subway Drug Selling”. There was a large gent wandering around with a plastic bag and someone bought a double pack of AA batteries – were they batteries or something more sinister – only the shadow knows. We were also serenaded by a young lady who decided that we would be blessed by her vocals and if we wanted to we could reward her financially. Unfortunately I had run out of the local currency and had no AA batteries to spare. After our carriage she moved forward to press her vocals on the next subway car. Blessings are sometimes missed in the day to day grind.
A great plus for the day was that we didn’t have to wear any warm tops – one of the few days (Since San Diego) that coats were not required.
We are now sitting in the terminal lounge waiting for our plane to board. I am watching a large well built man doing an impersonation of a pigeon complete with head movements. I worry that he bought some AA batteries on the train and got confused which batteries should be in the mp3 player. What worries me even more is that he will be boarding our plane. Stay tuned for the next exciting episode.
