New York - USA

NEW YORK!NEW YORK!

Here we go... our final destination of the world trip!

We were really sad to leave LA, and thinking we had only 3 days left in our trip.
Luckely for us, Sophie's cousins ( Claude's childrens ( Claude = uncle fromArgentina)) live in NY and let us to stay with them.
So we stayed with Neil (Claude's son) and Mia his girlfriend ,for 3 days.

We arrived at night, Neil and Mia welcomed us in their really nice studio in Queens.( with the  view of Manhattan!!)

Neil also has an old campervan like the one we had in Australia, so it was fun to visit NY in a campervan!

During our 3 days we visited all the basic tourists attractions: Statue of Liberty, Empire state building, Central park, Time square, 5th Avenue, Madison Avenue , Brooklyn and Soho.
Everything went really fast as always but it was really amazing.

New York is so big! All the avenues are so long, buildings so high and it's crowded!
It was also boiling hot and the subway was almost unbearable.
Neil and Mia showed us Brooklyn by night. It was also our last world trip's night so we decided to celebrate it!
We went to a nice restaurant and club. It was the perfect night for our last night.
The next day was short as we were little bit hangover and had to take our flight for London around 7pm, but we had time to go to little italy and had a perfect NY brunch with Neil, Mia and Cynthia ( Neil's sister).

New York was really amazing, too short but cool.
It's really this kind of city where everything is going on, " the city which never sleep" it's exactly that. People always everywhere, lots of business and sucess.

It's funny because it's exactly the opposite of Los Angeles: here you just walk or take the subway but in LA you need your car for everything.
But NY is a big city like all the other big city in the world: lots of people,subway crowded, buildings everywhere and not so much space for parks.
We liked it a lot but think we still prefer LA for the way of life.
Maybe now we are more country/ nature people than city people!

So yes, the moment is already here: take the last flight for London!
We are so tired I think we don't realise we are coming home, the trip is over and all our familly is waiting for us at the airport.
Our feelings are mixed: really exited to see everytbody at the airport, and really sad to leave.
We don't really miss anything, familly yes but same time we skyped with them so we don;t have the feeling that 1 year has passed.
We loved travelling so much we are ready for an other year around the world right now!

For long time we thought: when we will be in the plane for London we will be so exited and release than it's finished. But actually not at all, the year went so fast we even didn't have time to realise what we were doing.
So we were just thinking " we are already here, on our way back home! We can't believe it!"

We will post an other article about the come back in London!

So this is our last article during our travel!
