Time in the Square
Just a quick one today. We managed to tackle the subway system with success and made it into Manhattan for the first time. We spent most of the day at Times Square which is a pretty crazy and busy place. We will have to go back there at night time to get some better photos.

Times Square in lined with overpriced souvenir shops and also the odd interesting thing. Such as…. a gigantic Toys R Us store which has a 7 story Ferris wheel inside. Ofcourse, Rob insisted he go in.

There was also a Hershey’s chocolate store which sold a whole bunch of branded merchandise. Oh and they sold a bit of chocolate too…. I took the time to pose while holding the Worlds Largest Hershey’s bar.
Maybe its a normal sized chocolate bar and I have just shrunk...
After working up a sweat walking around everywhere, Rob spotted a little micro-brewery which we went in to check out. He ordered the taste-tester plate of 8 of the brewery’s beers. Mmmmm…. by the end he was almost about to vomit because each beer he tried seemed to be worse than the one before. Note to any other visitors going to NYC – don’t visit Heartland Brewery.
The eagerness to try the beers soon faded after this photo.
So far so good in NYC. The streets seem safe enough and we should be able to handle the subway system from now on. I think it is going to rain tomorrow so we might take the opporunity to go to a museum or two so that we can be indoors.
