Woke up at 11.30 am after going to bed at 4 am or something like that.
But wonder of wonders, are winter mornings always so bright and sunny in New York? Either that or the city is welcoming me with beautiful sunshine (and temperatures of about 0 degrees).
I get dressed, make 2 cups of tea (as there is no food in the apartment!) and venture out to soak in my new surroundings. I walk down 6th avenue, walk across to 5th avenue...shops, shops and lots of tourists. LOTS.
Don't get me wrong. It's hard to miss when every other person walking beside you has a camera either (1) in their hands, (2) around their necks. or (3) exclaiming excitedly about the sights and shops. Haha. So obviously I don't feel out of place when I want to snap photos of the towering skyscrappers, shops and what-not.
I do a bit of shopping....wander around Times Square...marvel at the sales and am reminded of how I am not a huge fan of the Australian shops (mainly due to the prices and somewhat lack of variety). GAP, Zara, H&M (!!!), Sephora....
It gets dark and I am hungry...but I keep on walking as I'm having a ball just entering the various shops and take in the sights. It's a bustling city, and all the lights! But when it approaches 8 pm...I remember that I've only had 2 cups of tea all day...so I wander back and dump all my shopping back at the apartment before heading out to the supermarket around the corner.
End of Day 1
