So good they named it twice.

NEW YORK.

Well, the cherry on the icing! What can we say, other than NYC was all and more than we could have wished for, the perfect end in every way to our travels.

After a smooth flight from Mexico city to Newark airport NY, we caught the train to Penn station before hopping in a taxi to the mighty Bryneths. We had a take away pizza and a good catch up with Bryn before bed.

The next morning, which was a cold one, was spend meandering around shops, namely The Burton store!!! Awww Yeeeee… The afternoon consisted of food, and making arrangements with Bryn and Stuart (of Lara and Stuart fame) for that evening. Stout NYC was the location, with a slight mix up on times..

We arrived at 5, not 6, due to a poor mobile phone connection!!! We wandered around the vast bar in search of a familiar face, and we found one ( well, 4 ) Someone who looked remarkably like Mr Trevor Ellis!! Sitting next to 3 other people who looked identical to Sarah Ellis – Jones, Tim Kopotsha and Zoe Johnson. So identical did they look that it turned out it actually WAS them. WHAT A SHOCK!!!!!…. The most wonderful surprise. It later turned out that we were just a good excuse to shop;) Which boy did they do….

We hooked up with a few travel buddies, Bill who we met At Iguazu falls, who is now working as a lawyer in Manhattan. Also Rob and Emma who we met in Chile and Bolivia, it was really nice to see them..

The next 4 days were spent shopping socialising, eating far too much food at some great places, a bit more shopping mixed with a little bit of sightseeing, followed by a few beers here and there, and a bit more shopping. This was all coupled with perfect New York weather, crystal clear and cold for two days, then SNOW!!! Amazing!!.. We couldn’t have wished for more.

One night of our time there was spent with Lyns and Andy in their new pad in Port Chester, just north of Manhattan, beautiful Town house with a big fire!!J Both are well and ready for parenthood. Good luck guys!!

Great City + Great Friends + Great weather = a truly memorable ending……Thanks!!

……..But not the end of our blog!!!! Carry on watching for more jude and Jimmy frivolitites.

We hope you have enjoyed – and will continue to enjoy – it as much as we have..
