A taste of the big apple
New York City had been on my list of places to visit for some time now, so when it was finally booked and my last stop before returning home, I couldn’t wait for it to arrive.
What I wasn’t prepared for though was the weather – we just happened to be there for the hottest week of the summer where high temperatures and New York’s humidity equalled quite a sticky situation.
Besides the weather I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Malado and her sister for five days (which wasn’t long enough). Here are my top 10 from my trip to the Big Apple.
1) Bike riding through and around Central Park
