New York Holiday 2006

I can't believe it has been four years already since we went to New York, I was flipping through our many 100's of photographs of the holiday and thought that I must put some of them up on my blog, this was definitely not a relaxing holiday by any means but was definitely a fun filled, completely packed, hectic go, go, go kind of holiday. It is true what they say about New York, it really is the city that never sleeps, it has to be the noisiest place I have ever been, between the constant hooting of cars/taxi's and sirens wailing, even on the 42nd floor of our hotel, we still heard this constant noise all night. This was an adventure, we shopped, we saw sights, we ate, we lived the New York life for 6 days and then made our way over the ocean to spend some time in London & Scotland. I am very grateful to have been able to visit.

Till next time
