Immigration took an hour to complete... I'm pulling a face here, not so much about the time it took but the fact that it was hot while while we waited... almost passing out hot. The taxi queue took us around 45 minutes but hey... we're in New York ;) Our room is spacious with two double beds and a great view of the Empire State Building from the window and a great view of the Chrysler from just outside the hotel lobby. Beds are nice and clean looking with white linens and no scatter cushions, which I hate on hotel beds, they are positive harbingers of icky dust and bacteria.
We freshen up and head for Times Square, it's bigger, brighter and more stunning than I remember and it now has purely pedestrian areas. We get there via Bryant Park, it's ice skating rink and it's Christmas Market, I am mesmerised.
I had a shower and went to bed and surprisingly, did not go out like a light. I drifted off eventually and woke a few times in the night but we were both awake by 4am.
By the time we went to bed, it was 2am, our time, (at home time.) No wonder I was tired.
