The previous day is
HERE
Its another photo heavy day so am splitting into two parts - maybe more, who knows
Tuesday 5 July
It wasn’t the greatest nights sleep
Super snorer had made a brief return
And my cough was really annoying
Although on the upside, my cold overall was definitely improving
It looked very grey and gloomy outside
Well it would do at 0530 – its still blooming nightime !
The weather forecaster assures us it is to clear up around mid morning and no rain is forecast so decide to stick with our plan
We will walk the Highline and visit Chelsea Market and pick up the teens later for some other sightseeing
Andy is a bit delicate – must have been a bad pint ….the last one obviously
We had the usual hotel breakfast – the cinnamon bagels were really nice
We set off for the Highline , checking directions with the guy in the Pizza place next to the Hotel
After walking several blocks it becomes clear the street numbers are not taking us in the right direction
We only had the choice of going left or right and picked the wrong one !
Andy is in no mood for more walking that necessary so we hail a cab to take us to 28th Street to join the Highline there
At first we seem to be gong nowhere in the traffic but it doesn’t take long at all and only cost $10
The Highline is quiet and , of course, after initially setting off THE WRONG WAY – we backtrack quickly towards the Chelsea Market end
Our navigation is uncanny
Don’t ever get lost with us – you would never get out !
We really enjoyed the walk – it was a shame it was a bit overcast – but then I think that kept a lot of people away , we hardly saw anyone
The random artworks were funky

Firetrucks and Coke trucks – you know you are in the States !
I loved the flower planting
Yeah, this did give me a “ what the ? ” moment – til I read the board
We loved all the contrasting architecture and buildings – and mused on how much apartments would cost along here
Finally reaching the waterfront
I am sure Andy contemplated a lie down in his slightly “ tired” state
Ok – this initially freaked me out I really didn’t know if it was a real person or not
