The first day in New York was reasonably uneventful, we did the downtown bus loop to help Sian get her bearings and to see some of the sights, and then we did the uptown one. You can do too many bus tours, but generally they're entertaining. Sian may not agree...stay posted...and we ended the day with a carpet picnic from the deli across the road from our hotel.

The second day was reasonably eventful. I had previously booked to go to Pastis for brunch. I had eggs benedict and it was lovely, I can't remember what Sian had, except I know there was maple syrup in it, more on that later. We wandered around the Meatpacking and Chelsea areas, went to Chelsea Market which was gorgeous, I'd never been before.

Then we caught the bus that did the loop over and around Brooklyn. Now, I should tell you that it was a very warm, sunny day and the bus we were on had a clear, perspex roof, it was like a greenhouse. It was somewhere in Brooklyn where Sian started to feel unwell, it was the longest bus journey ever. When we eventually were returned to Manhattan, Sian vomed in Battery Park. A peruvian doctor took great interest in this and stayed with us until we decided to return to the hotel.
