we're here... its hot, and the showers are crap

We touched down in New York at 4pm got straight through customs (except a slight disagreement between Ady and them due to 'travelling' not being an appropriate answer to why are you visiting the United States) and then made our way to the the subway confident we were going to probably end up somewhere where we shouldn't... but we didn't!

90 minutes later we arrived at our lovely looking hostel ready to make ourselves at home in the beautiful looking rooms we had expected... unfortunately the guys who put together the Broadway hotel and hostel website must have mistaken it with somewhere COMPLETELY different. Although its not bad... its certainly not good (Pictures soon - see below for fake!). Holes in the flooring, wires sticking out of the wall... a sort of post-war Iraq chic would be a pretty good description. Also... the showers... they look crap and they're cold...happy days! On the upside it has air conditioning..!

We met a lovely lass from Brisbane called Marta, stowed our stuff and went out in search of some food. The only place we could choose was a proper American diner which served up some beautiful burgers and ice cold beer... perfect!

Went to bed pretty early due to it being about 2am back in England but we're up today (Saturday) and ready for a day of sight seeing! A quick tip for people staying in hostels... Prepare your next days stuff before you go to bed cos its a right git trying to get everything sorted while people are trying to sleep the next day!!
