Day 4 - New York
It's started to get really hot in New York today. Everyone was telling us how lucky we were getting some cooler weather. Now we know why. Hot, hot , hot.
We visited the aircraft carrier the USS Intrepid which is moored (as a permanent museum) in the Hudson River at about 42nd Street. There were tons of aircraft on the deck and they had a Concord on a barge. Did you see them take one down the Thames? It was just like that. It looked very sad. This magnificent aircraft sitting on a barge bobbing up and down in the river. Nothing like the poise it had if you saw one on an airport runway.
Went to Grand Central Station which Julian immediately recognised as the location of level 3 in his Spiderman computer game. Our cab driver had already shown us the bridge and cable car (did you know there was a big alpine type cable car in New York?) where another Spiderman scene (from the first movie) was located. This building is magnificent -not at all like Charing Cross! Walked back to the hostel (you can virtually walk everywhere in New York) and started to pack for the morning. We are on the move again.
