Day 9: Sightseeing NYC

woke up at a fairly early hour after 10 to a lovely day weather wise, we got ready and headed out via a mcd's brekko and then hit the subway to do lots of sights, during our day we saw The chrysler Bulding, Grand Central station (where me and joe discovered the amazing talking cavern), Empire State, Madison Sq garden, Ground Zero, Battery Park, mid sfternoon we hopped on a shorter boat cruise that i went on last time, only 1 hour ths time , got great views of the skyline from the boat where john wasnt feeling great hahaha, the tourguide alays kept saying what was "free" and what wasnt, funny ! from there we made more subway treks back to the Empire State Bulding to go up it, we waited for ages to get up there and to be honest wasnt worth the ait or the money, we were only up there for about 15 mins, took some snaps and we made our way back down.

Headed back to the hostel for around 6ish to have a bit of a kip and get ready for a big boozy night. Headed out to Times Square for 10pm where we arranged to meet the girls , of course they were late and hadnt shown up by 11 ! we were in the Hard Rock when they did finally show up a little bit tipsy hahaha. Great to see them again it felt like ages since we had.

We all jumped in cabs and made our way down to Bleeker st where we went in a pub called the red Lion at first as a joke, but little did we know we would enbed up there again after circling the city in cabs trying to find a club that was open on a monday night, our mission failed so we went back to the Red Lion, we made the best of it and too kloads of pics, had lots to drin kand loads of shots ! they kept serving all night and we eventually stmbled out of there at 4.30 am !
