Unlike yesterday - it is a beautiful day today in New York. We took the ferry across
and after a short walk found a cab to take us to near Times Square.
Times Square, excellent place for a cup of tea and people watching. |
Maritta wanted to visit the Pandora shop to get something
New York for her bracelet and also Starbucks for NY Mugs for the collection. Took us a while but we finally found the Pandora store eventually with some
help from a friendly local shop keeper.

She then convinced me that as we used the GoPro video camera
a lot these days we should look at updating it. We found a camera store that looked good
and found a very friendly and helpful salesman. We discovered that the GoPro 4 was
available and they offered it to us at a very good discount even though it was
more than we had intended to spend. Probably a bad idea but we then asked him
about those tiny projectors we had seen around and were so impressed we bought
that too! Dale is wrapped - a boy and his electronic toys!
Batman was available for photo opportunities, there is a sign saying you don't have to pay them but most people do. |
After the effort at the camera store I couldn’t really
complain when Maritta wanted to go clothes shopping at Macey’s and found all
sorts of stylish new clothes that suited. We probably would have shopped more
but knew that luggage could easily be a problem.
Yes, its an odd photo, Macy's has escalators that are made of timber, even the treads (at least some of them are) |
She also took me into “Victoria’s Secret" just so we could
say we had been there. After this, and a bit more walking we eventually caught a
cab back to the pier.
