This was our last day in New York and off we went back into Times Square and then we went to the Rockafella Centre where we went to the top of the building where the viewing deck was on 69th floor to have a look at the whole of New York. As you went up in the elevator all lights started flashing and you could see yourselves going up. The view was awesome and we were told to go up the Rockafella Centre instead of the Empire State as the New Yorkers reckon it was a better view. After that we went down to South Ferry and had some lunch at the South Seaport area which was really nice - a bit of last minute shopping and then headed back to the hotel from hell to await our pick up. We left it a bit late to get back to the hotel and had a fight with the ticket machines and by the time we got back the shuttle bus had been and gone but lucky it said that it would go pick another person up then come back. We were not sad to say goodbye to the Days hotel as it was a run down piece of rubbish - quite a good location but really run down. The only one so far that has not been very nice. We enjoyed New York but dont know that we would rush back - too many people and really dirty, lots of homeless - gonna get that with 8.5million people. It was the ride from hell to the airport - very scary driver are the New Yorkers - surprised we did not collect a few cars on the way. Then up up and away to Paris - flight at 10pm and to arrive at 11.30 in Paris.
