Heellooo Neeeww Yoorrkk

Well, Ranjene and I flew into Newark Airport yesterday at around 4pm after which began our adventure into Manhatten Island. We caught a bus into times square, jumped on the subway and took the red line up to Harlem where our Hostel is. It took us a while to figure out which train to take and which direction. Once we had that sorted the stuffy subway was no problem.

All we had the energy to do yesterday after arriving at our hostel was to check into our room and find somewhere to eat in Harlem. After that we crashed and got up nice and early.

After breakfast today we took the train down to Penn station, wandered around, checked out Madison Square Garden, the empire state building, the New York Apple store and walked along the edge of central park. I had a debacle buying a replacement cell phone charger which is now all dealt with.

We met Audhild and Hilde (family friends from way back) for lunch in a small cafe near Madison Ave and 60th st. We then picked up our stuff from the Hostel and came with Audhild to her house near Philadelphia which is were we are now and for the next day or two. (Had a lobster dinner mm hmmm)
