America - New York Day 1 & 2


Next stop, New York!

New York is one of those places I've wanted to go to since I was little. We went on the 'red eye' overnight flight from Vegas to New York so when we got there we were so tired and had to have a little nap before we went to explore! 
We stayed in a hotel called Yotel, which was really nice, it was basic and small but for the money it was great and in a fab location in Manhattan. I couldn't believe how busy it was, especially in Times Square! We just had a little wander round, had something to eat and bought some tickets for a tour bus. Im a little geeky like that, I love learning about places and I'm a proper tourist!
We then went to Planet Hollywood for something to eat later on that night, which was amazing!

Our second day we got on the tour bus and went to various different places. My favourite place was Central Park, I didn't realise how huge it was though! We went to the One World Trade Center, and where the twin towers were, but we didn't go to the 9/11 museum until our last day. I still can't stop thinking about it even today, especially after going to the museum. You see what happened on the television etc, but when your there it makes you realise even more how devastating it was.



















This just reminds me of all the films! :)

America - The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was one of my favourite days in Vegas. It was such an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is going to Las Vegas. We went by coach, which we really enjoyed because even though it was a bit of a journey to get there, we got to learn a lot about it which was really interesting. 


We also went on the Skywalk (above) which is like a bridge that hangs over the Grand Canyon. It has a clear floor so you can see right through where you are stood, its amazing! We seemed to be the only people who wern't clinging on to the sides haha!

We also had a quick stop off at the Hoover Dam on the way back...
