New York was on Daylight Saving time so we also lost an hour's sleep overnight. That might explain why we didn't get up until 11am!Our first stop was the hotel lobby where we had brunch, well lunch actually. We knew we were definitely back in the Northern Hemisphere and that it was winter. It was freezing so we had shared a huge bowl of soup and a baguette.
Our hotel was on 42nd Street so, after lunch, we walked along it past Grand Central Station to Times Square (which isn't a square as we know it) and onto Central Park.
Here we met a guide who shows visitors round the park in a carriage on the back of his bike so we went on a tour. It was brilliant (much better value, if not as romantic, as the horse and carriage ride) as we saw at least a third of the park and learned lots about the surrounding buildings and statues.
