Ho Hum, another shitty day in paradise...

We are getting old. My knee is playing up and L is suffering swollen ankles from all the walking and stair climbing. But age shall not weary them and we will press on during our final days in NYC.

Today sees the first heavy rain. Locals have indicated we need to be aware of possible weather changes - I take it they have never heard of Melbourne's weather.

Yesterday commence with our 2nd visit to Tiffanys where they were set loose. There were smiles all around as the blokes paid for their brownie points. Did the Highline, which was a tad disappointing for mine, not much there. Did the Nazi soup kitchen, the NY Comedy Club, and then a Cuban dinner at 10.30. Asleep by 1.30 this morn, have just breakfasted as we plot our attack on DC in 3 days time. We're considering hiring a mini bus and spending a few hrs in Philly as the drive, with a very confidant Nick at the wheel, is only about 4 hrs away.

The weather has been great, from warm to very warm with high humidity. Only had a couple of light showers before today. Shorts and tshirts all the way, we have grossly overpacked. We have had no trouble entering any events, exhibits bars or restaurants in very casual dress, and probably smelly by days end.

We, ve just determined we will visit the Explorers Club, which is a public museum on... explorers. They have an extensive history and artifacts on thw worlds great ans sometimes little known explorers. Tonight we have booked the Rockefeller Center for a tour and observation. Who knows what we'll do in between, but NY had better watch out.

Ooroo for now.
