Arriving in Reyjavik, Iceland and New York 23rd May
There are supposed to be over 50 golf courses in Iceland and here is one of them on the coast with summer daylight hours you can play golf 24 hours a day!!!
Reykjavik
- scenery looks very flat and baron when we flew over
So we had an hour
before our next connection. Just didn’t
realise how many flights go out of Reykjavik to America this is a bustling
airport!! Iceland is supposed to be
famous for their hot dogs as the best restaurant in Iceland is a ‘hot dog
stand’ just not sure if I would be proud of that here are two scenarios – 1) are the
restaurants rubbish or 2) are the hot dogs amazing???
Had to try one and it
wasn’t the best Colin has tried as the skin was tough and a bit chewy! So food
critic Mr Anderson says maybe they shouldn’t advertise hot dogs and then sell
rubbish one’s!!!
Amy has been seeing
lots of people with their babies strapped to them so she has made her own baby
carrier for Jemima whilst waiting to board the flight to New York, JFK!!
It
is absolutely tipping it down but here is our next aeroplane called ……
Hengill,
which means ………
I thought Amy was showing me the clouds to start with and then I saw the snow! Our flight path took us over the southern tips of Greenland, it was absolutely stunning scenery!!
This glazier has been melting and the water was crystal clear, beautiful. Bring on our next cruise to Alaska :):)
The
final shot of Greenland
Well howdy partner, here is New York :):)
Bridges
on the horizon
There
are no cameras or mobiles allowed inside the terminal buildings until after
customs. Don’t think they realised we
normally do photographs when we arrive, ruining our plans ha ha!! Anyway this one is to prove that we have
arrived in the Big Apple with all the yellow taxis!
We jumped on the Airtrain
to take us to the metro, then metro onto the PATH (which is a part of the
subway that takes us under the Hudson River to our side of the water and stands
for Port Authority Trans-Hudson) and then that is us at our hotel. Our hotel has a view of the Manhattan
Skyline, Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building, woop woop!!!!
Amy's little excited face on the Airtrain
Surrounded by our suitcases and bags on the subway!
Amy still looked bright in the photo but a few minutes after this was
taken she was asleep on me along with all the bags and suitcases, quick catnap!
Amy's first experience of a skyscraper!! In the rain!!!
Woop woop we are now on the PATH, success on our navigation through the Airtrains, metro and PATH we are back in business again, no wrong turns hooray!!!
On the PATH
Our train that has takes us to Exchange Place. I take a photo of the subway and then try take a photo of Amy but a large booming voice says' No photography in the subway or the stations' Sorry to the NYPD policeman, first bit of trouble I've got up to in New York!!!
We
arrived tired out and was put into room 108 with a distant view of Statue of
Liberty. We were happy with the room
until we realised that just outside our window was a walkway with people
walking, running and some people were fishing off the pier. We waited half an hour for Amy’s roll away
bed to come poor Amy had already fallen asleep in our bed but can’t remember
being moved onto her bed. We are all
tired from our long journey today but it was great watching the films on the
small TV’s on the flights. Can’t wait to look out at the view tomorrow morning
:O))
