Lost else happened today ! Got the subway down to lower east side where we tried to get a different front rack for my bike (to no avail). Found the Yaffa Cafe recommended by J - Good call! Lovely atmosphere with cool decor and quiet garden for eating.. cold (but very nice) soup!
Started to walk towards times square after doing a bit of route planning in the caf. Managed to hop on a tourist bus which took us to the Rockafella building for free. Fantastic views from the top tho very murky. Walked back through central park did a bit of bird spotting for dad! Stayed there watching baseball for a bit before heading back to the hostel where we all be it stressfully, sorted out the bikes! Keir nodded off & I went to check my uni results.. got a 2:1 !! VERY HAPPY! Think me jumping out of the seat may have surprised those in the lobby! Went off to east village to try and celebrate. No real pubs like England but managed to get an Irishman to buy me an illegal pint. Couldn't for the life of me understand what he was saying! Headed back after a hot dog. All in all, a jam packed day!
Ciao, Jon
