News from the Big Apple

Greetings! We have not dropped off the edge of the Empire State nor disappeared down a manhole in the road, rather our RV park doesn't have wifi - so we are out of internet contact whilst in NY (except for when we find free wifi like now - we're sitting next to the ice skating rink in the Rockefeller Center!)

A brief overview so far:

-our rv park is Basic (with a capital B!) - a gravel carpark - but it does have a view of the Statue of Liberty and heated bathrooms!

- we have successfully negotiated public transport - to get from our van park (in NJ) to Manhattan we take a light rail, the PATH (train under the Hudson River) and then the subway to whereever we want. Not too hard (although over 5's are adult prices - ouch!)

-Mike had a great 40th birthday - gifts, burgers,shakes, Mary Poppins on Broadway, cake and lots of love

-it is very cold - the highest temp so far has been 5 deg C

-we did an 8 hour walking tour of the city

That's enough for now! We're here til Friday (today is Monday) so more trip reports after that!
