Bye bye New York!

23^rd of July

Hi hi hello!
 

It’s now our last day of this whole roadtrip, and it’s really sad. Sure, we miss all you at home, but this trip has been so amazing!
 

Anyway, our time here in New York has been hectic and we’ve been doing a lot of things. Today, we took an all-day shopping day, so we’re all really tired and our feet’s hurts! But gosh, was it fun! We bought so many things! New York is truly the paradise for a shopaholic! Louise bought three pair of jeans , two sweaters, five tops, two t-shirts and a bag, Lena bought a jacket, two bags, one pair of jeans and five pair of shoes and  Nathalie bought two scarfs, two pair of jeans, two pair of Converse, five t-shirts and three tops. Finally, Rebecka bought three pair of shoes, one dress, two pair of shirts, three t-shirts, six tops and three bags! So, as you can see, we spent quite a lot of money on clothes.

Yesterday was spent on China Town. We were just walking around and ate some Chinese food. Louise had dumplings with noodles, Lena had noodles with wok vegetables, Rebecka had pork with noodles as well and Nathalie had fried shrimps with rice. It was all really delicious, but Rebecka thought her pork was a bit dry. Nathalie had huuuge problems with eating with sticks, and it was a lot of fun watching her try to get the food from the plate to her mouth.
 

 

Later that night we went to a real American hockey game! We saw the New York Rangers play against the Detroit Red Wings, and it was actually really exciting! None of us are especially into hockey, but the atmosphere in the arena was great! The Rangers won with 4-3.

View from the Empire State Building

The day before that we were at Times square to buy tickets for the Broadway musical Avenue Q. The ticket’s cost 730 SEK each, which we all thought was reeeeaally expensive for a ticket to a musical, but we felt that it was a thing that had to be done.
After that we went to see the Empire State Building. Each ticket cost us $14, and then we stood in a line for one hour. When we finally got up in the tower, it turned out to be quite boring. Yes, sure, the view was great, but that was all. It’s not worth to pay $14 just for a good view.

The Empire State Building

The Brooklyn Bridge

The first day we were here, we went to Manhattan to check out the Staue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. The statue was really cool and majestic. We didn’t know so much about the statue though, so we asked an old lady. She said that it was a gift to USA to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the independence of USA. It was ready 28^th of October in 1886 and it’s 46 meter high.

That was an update from our four days here in NYC. Our plane leaves at 5.35 tomorrow morning, so we gotta get to bed early today. We’ll see you all tomorrow! Take care!

Over and out,

Louise, Nathalie, Rebecka and Lena
