It was quite a long but exciting trip. Fraught with ‘dangers’ such as…

1. A rude young man on board the ferry to the Statue of Liberty.. that I had to ask him to sit elsewhere.

2. A drugged and drunk man on a 5 hour bus journey.. kept pestering that he wants to get off the bus, throughout the journey repeatedly telling the whole bus his story of…
[start: parental alert]  his 22-year relationship with another man. [end: parental alert]

3. Almost having no place to stay on New Year’s Eve, when a landlady at Flushing did not honour her agreement to give us a room. We found out only when we arrived at New York with all our luggages. Fortunately managed to check into Hotel Wolcott on 5th Avenue at a good price.

Other photos will be on facebook.
