It never rains in California.....but in New York it pours and pours!!


Today we were at a loose end, we had plans yes, to go up the Rock (Rockerfeller centre), cycle round Central Park - but no, just as in the homeland the weather got the better of us and in hindsight maybe we should have gone home today BUT if I had I wouldn't have bought my seventh (I think) pair of Oakleys and best of all my little treat to me a Radley handbag - the only bag that comes with it's own Scotty Dog :) Alan didnt buy anything except an umbrella but there again he has spent all his bonus on that new Camera from the legendary B&H photography shop.

Sadly, the weather got the better of us and after ending up completely soaked (including a taxi driver completely covering me with water) so we gave up, came back to the hotel and I am now sitting in the bar of the hotel with a glass of Zin, a good book and a few hours to spare which to be honest is well earned after walking so many miles I need a new pair of feet!!!

For pur final meal of the trip we are going to a favourite of Alan's, the Heartland Brewery which is a microbrewery pub - and you never know I may actually have a steak.
