WOW NYC! The City that never sleeps

Well we have definitely been inducted into the world of NYC - the city that never sleeps!

This is Down Town New York with a little view of New Jersey across the Hudson River (left hand side of photo)

We have had a whirlwind tour of this amazing city. The last three days have been jammed packed full of tours, adventures and sightseeing. We have left the hotel room no later than 7am in the morning and getting back after 10pm every night....hence why you havnt heard from us in the last three days.

La Guardia Airport

We have travelled PATH rail transit

We are now METRO subway experts

...and have travelled NYC in peak hour traffic through wild storms...

...on our way back from a tour we got caught in an electrical storm in peak hour traffic and spent 2 hours crossing the George Washington Bridge from Manhattan to New Jersey and back again

Being bored in peak hour traffic...and a tourist on their first crossing of the George Washington Bridge you use the time taking photos...

...of the bridge....and the traffic, and when you get real lucky you can capture a bolt of lightning that flies across the sky...top right hand corner of photo below. The electrical storm lasted about 4 hours in total and washed the whole city clean.

We have loved our time in NYC and promise to blog some of these adventures over the next couple of evenings. 

We are now in Atlanta Georgia ready for our three day convention :)

Very tired after our NYC adventures so goodnight
