Friday saw Sarah and I catching the ferry to Stratton Island and checking out the Statue of Liberty.
We then headed to 5th Avenue and had a big shop. I bought a couple of things but was still without boots and a waterproof jacket for Europe! We also checked out Broadway to see if there were any cheap tickets left for that night but the places we looked into were sold out. We did get tickets to a comedy show though so after my $3.55 chinese food dinner, we went to the Broadway Comedy Club. It was really funny, better than we expected! After the show at 2.30am we had some tea and cake, and then we caught the faithful Subway home. We walked past the Letterman show, this was not where the comedy club show was!
The next day I caught up with Annika, whom Kathy and I had met in San Francisco! She had just got to New York so we decided to have lunch and we walked past the Mary Poppins theatre. After taking some realistic photographs, we checked to see if they had any cheap tickets for the 2pm matinee. They did!! We got them for $60 and they were very close to the front, maybe a little to the side but I could still see everything perfectly fine so we were really happy.
Annika is from Germany and knows what sort of clothing and boots would be best, but again we couldn’t find anything! I showed her Grand Central Station though and Rockafella Plaza where we went to the Magnolia Bakery! The Magnolia Bakery is one of those famous New York bakeries where people stand out the door and around the corner waiting to get in. I’ve read about it on the internet and in lots of baking blogs so have always wanted to go there!
We also went to the largest Macy’s in the world. How big is this giant Macy’s, you ask? Well, with four Starbucks, a McDonalds, six other cafes and 9 stories, it is quite big. And soooo busy! We got in there, looked at the boots, took some photos and got right out of there! The next day, I checked out of the hostel and began my super fun filled journey to Europe! My next post is dedicated to the many tiny holes that made my journey not so smooth but a little more exciting than if everything had gone perfectly. The mugging did not help. Kidding! I was not mugged Mum. Ok, talk to everyone soon!

Oh did you like Mary Poppins!? Would you reccomend it?! Is that my blue dress I see you wearing!? If so I am very happy and blue is totes your colour! I just randomly decided to come here and voila a new post! Good to see!
ReplyDeleteYes I would recommend Mary Poppins, I enjoyed it, good singing, and a lovely story! Burt is JUST like Dick Van Dyke I think the movie Burt was? I'm not sure but yeah, exactly the same! And Annika and I smuggled in a giant bag of fun size snickers so that was cool too. Yes it is your dress! Ps, my auntie was kind enough to iron it! ( I think 99% of my clothes have never seen an iron haha) and then she noticed the seam was half undone and she was like oh my goodness we can't have you walking around like this etc etc and not it's all stitched up! Hahaha yours when I get back! Ps I was like, yeah I've only worn it a couple of time, I got it from a friend...when the stitching was brought up haha soz broseph
