New York - Day 1

Finally!! New pictures!!
Taking the trip to New York City as a new starting point here I'll do my best to resurrect this blog site. Yes, New York: I'm there!
After just 9 hours flight we arrived at THE city. The flight was pretty easy. Only remarkable things were the probably oldest cabin crew I've ever seeen (not sure if anyone of them was younger than sixty), the experience of watching 4 full size movies in a row and the second meal: never had pizza and icecream as inflight meal before.
However, everything went smoothly and even the taxi ride to Manhattan was fun, thanks to the entertaining driver and some really nice vistas of Manhattan on the way. We went right into the middle of it, to Times Square. It was pretty exciting in daylight...
..and even more breathtaking at night.
The apartment is luxurious as expected and the owner's wife greeted us with a round of cold beers, don't know if everything could have been better..probably not! :-) And this is the view from the small balcony...22th floor.
