Day 4 03/07/09 NYC

Laid back morning in the hostel & fitted Keirs milometer. Met up with Eric, Keirs friend from Nepal, who showed us around. Took us to a chineese restaurant in Chinatown - very interesting food & service including chickens feet and cow intestine mmm... This was followed by ice cream in little italy :) Went to the met museum.. paid one dime for the three of us! - voluntary contributions ;) Great view of central park from the roof terrace. Stayed in the park looking around at skating, vollleyball, rowing, tortoise, lawns, jazz, other types of music, statues, dancing.. reading.. list goes on!

Went to Greenwich village in the evening to Bistros Corner, pretty cool typical bar playing jazz with the baseball on screen!

4th July Today! Both really want to get pedalling and out of the city but are sticking around for the fireworks tonight! Panniers are all packed up! No joy with couchsurfing for the minute so the plan is to cycle 80miles then stop when we find somewhere cheap to stay.. fingers crossed! Next post should be from Canada!- unless we stumble accross an amazing campsite with swimming pools saunas internet etc!
