We very excitedly went inside the TARDIS and had our photo taken, though unfortunately the email with it in seems to have gone astray :( We did get a bag of free jelly babies though, so it's not all bad.
After a delayed takeoff and a delayed landing, the plane had to be dragged by a tractor (we didn't understand either) to the terminal building, by which point we were an hour behind schedule. Although the American security was much faster and even friendlier than in the past, we decided to get a taxi into the city rather than the slower train.
For our 2 nights in New York, we are staying at a guest house in Harlem. Having never been in this area before, we are both loving it as it seems both a bit calmer than downtown and also very culturally interesting. The guest house seems great, loads of space with a big communal living area and kitchen. After some great advice from the owner, we headed out for a walk around Harlem, ending up at the north of Central Park, somehow finding a swimming pool and taking an accidental very long walk around a lake. Fittingly hungry from this escapade, we stopped at a fab restaurant named Native on Lennox Ave. We dined on delicious Moroccan chicken and rice with peas. The food was great and we were attempting to stay up until a suitable American bedtime, but by 10pm East Coast time (3am UK - meaning we've been up for 23 hours), we were practically falling asleep at the table! And that brings us to now, about to go to sleep and ready for our next exciting day in New York tomorrow!
