Hi All,
Made It. I still have a bit of a allergy cough and Trace is fighting chesty stuff.
We blame Broadway in the rain. At least we saw George Clooney ;)
Leave NY on tour with a bunch of Aussies, Poms, 1 Norwegian family and 1 Welsh couple :)
Had cold pizza for breakfast courtesy of Grand Central Station dinner night before!
Brazilian tour guide Andrea and Jose the bus drive - great!
Day 2 did a 4 hour tour of NY.
Then took subway to Broadway and met a nice NYPD officer who phoned in to find out where the cinemas were (who knew they would do that).
Talked about his grandmothers olive grove in Greece and loves the sound of NZ. (Expect a visit).
Day 3 of Tour
Early start. Waited a magic 10mins for 3 missing passengers who arrived in the nick of time :)
Drove through Jersey Tunnel (think opening credits to the Soprano's) :)
Long drive to Niagara through finger lake district and stopped for a photo opportunity at ???
Stopped at Fox Run winery - lets just say we are so spoiled with our wine.
First view of Nigara falls was the mist rising like smoke in the distance, very impressive.
Waiting on the Canadian border bridge overlooking the falls for immigration, so at least had a great view while we waited.
Got in late, but walked down to edge of falls for night coloured light view.
Saw racoons! (who knew!) Friendly little guys.
It's Canada - everything was shut, so went to TGI Fridays for a bowl of soup and a soda before getting to bed at midnight.
Big day today with Helicopter ride over falls, Boat ride to falls and Tower lunch above falls (Tracy will be brave!!!, she will ;) )
Great way to spend kiwi birthday (no phone coverage till tonight.)
Tracy says high.
Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to say we survived the tour just! Exhausted we made it back to NY and are having a much deserved early night and a sleep in before the long flight to Fiji tomorrow.
Great people on tour. Will fill you in I promise. Both sick with dreaded tour cough so the rest in Fiji will hopefully fix it :)
Looking forward to a sleep in.
Blog soon.

Hello you two
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Vicki..was it the 14th? Am in Port Douglas now and having a very relaxed time. Air and Water temperature both divine and up to 4 swims a day, Cuddled a koala to day, I know that is not the same as a trip to NY but it does for me at the moment. Relly enjoying your news and laughing at the bits that relate to our time in US and Canada e.g racoons at Niagra!!
Happy travelling love Pauline
Hi Mumsey,
ReplyDeleteSorry for the lack of communication. Internet access was impossible on tour.
Now back in NY and very ready to get on plane and have a relaxing couple of days in Fiji. Finally got run down in last couple of days so I think fiji will be great.
Tour was a lot of travel, but great people. Tell ya more soon, but we need an early night.
Had a wonderful Birthday dinner at Washington Harbour overlooking the river and the Kennedy Centre with fireworks and a chocolate cake which everyone secretly arranged. Such great people :)
Love to all. Have been thinking of you all.xxxx
