So – eventually got to New York around midday – sorted shuttle that we ahd rebooked – not there – so took taxi to the hotel. Now this hotel is very expensive. However, the wifi is not free, I couldn’t get the coffeemaker to give me hot water for my Earl Grey, but the location is excellent.
The Intercontinental Times square is 2 blocks from Times Square, and right in the theatre district.
We downed baggage and went off to Times Square to check out the famous sights. Amazing place, so vibrant – and so many people on the streets. Times Square area didn’t seem too crowded but the streets around are vey busy.
Bought the Hop on/off bus tickets and we boarded for the Downtown Tour, which lasted around 2 ½ hours.
Got all the goss on who lives/d where and saw all the famous places where different movies were made. We then had dinner and got on the Night Tour bus to visit Brooklyn and Brooklyn heights areas with the lights.
As we were so tired, having actually added hours to our day, we went straight to bed as soon as the tour finished about 11pm (actually 4am).
