New York #Day36

First full day to explore New York!

We changed hotels this morning in the Upper West Side. It was such a beautiful day so we headed to Central Park to meet up with our friends Alysha and Georgia. We walked everywhere!       

We hired a row boat and paddled around the lake for an hour which was so much fun and sooo pretty. 

      

 

 

 

We headed back downtown 

 

 

 

We went to the Rockerfeller Center to go to the 'Top of the Rock' viewdeck! It is a better view of NYC then the Empire State Building! 

   

67 fooors up! 

         

We quickly raced back to our hotel to get changed to head back to Broadway as Alysha and I were seeing the Broadway show Anastasia!! 

  

3 of our other friends payed double the price we did and we managed to get better seats then them!! 

 

The show was incredible! I had goosebumps the entire time. 

 

Another snap in Times Square and a gyro from a street vendor for dinner 

 

Such an amazing day. 

New York #Day35

Official last day with our Contiki Family!!  

We left Washington DC this morning for NYC! 

We stopped at Philadelphia along the way for a 3 hour lunch break. 

 

 

We went to a huge food market to enjoy some famous Phillychesse steak sandwhiches! 

 

We arrived in New York City at about 5pm, getting off our bus for the very last time to go our separate ways.

We drove a huge 9,500kms from LA to NYC.  

We headed to Times Square to meet up with the girls for dinner-We had a view of Times Square at the restaurant. Was so amazing! 

Pinching ourselves that we are here!

After dinner we went to a Karaoke bar to meet up with the rest of the Contiki! We sang songs and said our final goodbyes. Was very bitter sweet.  

Washington DC #Day34

Another lovely sleep in this morning before catching the metro back into the centre to check out the Monument and Holocaust Museum. It was soooooo hot today!!!!     

Nailed it:
 

   

This squirrel is feeling the heat. 

 

 

Then Sophie and I spent the arvo at the Zoo!

 

Tonight was our last official night of the Contiki Tour as the Contiki ends when we arrive in NYC tomorrow night. I can't believe it has come to an end already. Was so sad saying goodbye to everyone but there are heaps of people I know we will see once home :) 

We all wore matching 'I love DC' shirts and wrote messages for each other. 

With Georgia and Lily. 

  

All the girls <3 

 

 

Tomorrow we will be in New York!! 

Washington DC #Day33

Yesterday we had a nice sleep in then headed into town on the metro to see some more sights! 

We went to the 'Natural History Museum' and the 'Air and Space Centre'. All the museums are free which is so awesome! 

We walked a little bit and it was so hot that we ended up catching Uber's everywhere! 

Saying Hi to Trump. 

     

Tonight was our second last night as a Contiki family! So I ran around getting lots of photos with everyone.
