Don King and I

We've had a quite relaxing weekend after our return from New York. It's a truly amazing place and a full-on assault on all the senses. After suggesting that we might take things a little easy, I realised that this isn't really possible in NYC. Everywhere you turn there is something to see, do, read, visit or eat. That being the case, we ended up doing the main tourist attractions - Empire State Building, Central Park, The U.N, Staten Island Ferry (not really an attraction in itself, but the views are amazing) , Tiffany's , St. Patricks Catherdral, Rockefeller Centre, etc, etc...

Here's a picture down 7th Avenue - just across from our hotel.




People have asked me since our return what my 'favourite' bit was. I suppose it depends on which way you take that. St. Patrick's Cathedral was suprising and enlightening, there were great views (and awful queues) to be had at Empire State and Ground Zero was moving, horrific and very emotional. What I will say is that we will definetly go back.

I can't really place New York. We were both relieved to get home but are both drawn back to the place. I can honestly say as a reasonably seasoned traveller, that there are few places I have a greater urge to return to.

One funny tale was that Don King was having Breakfast at our hotel (The Michelangelo) last Tuesday - it actually was him.

You can see all of our photos here sadly there are none of Don King.

So good they named it twice.
