New York

New York, a city that I never tire of. My daughter and I share the same birthday and as she was celebrating her 30th, it was a good excuse to visit.

This weekend was sunny and quite warm. The New Yorkers were out in style. Apart from the fabulous shopping, we visited the High Line, the disused elevated railway that has been converted into an incredible green space for walking and taking advantage of the unusual New York views.

We also visit the financial district and observed the wonder that is the World Trade Centre, which will shortly open its viewing area to the public. This will certainly rival the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock.

In front of the building is the pre-historic like structure of a shopping complex under construction. It is truly incredible and does not take away from the tragedy of the Twin Towers.

We found some great bars and restaurants and spent our last day in Central Park. We sighted a huge eagle, that apparently is resident and seemed quite happy to co-habit with the locals!

Having visited New York for many years, I think it gets better.
