I'm going to be straight to the point and just tell you what we did today, because believe me, we did so many great things I can barely remember where we started this morning!
But after a little reminder from the awesome Belo family, I remember the beautiful sight that I had on top of the Empire State Building.
It took us two elevators and quite some time to get there, but it was sooooooo worth it!
Am I right or am I right?
I felt like I was on top of the world (or at least on top of NYC) and it took my breath away. Even though there were a lot of people wandering around, we managed to get some really good pictures. Most of them were with our hair flying everywhere, because of the wind, but the sunshine made up for it. I can't believe the people who were here two weeks ago had such cold weather!
So after we descended the Empire State Building, we were ready for lunch. Making so many dreams come true makes you really hungry!
We went to Grand Central Station and let me tell you: it was grand! The outside looks cool, but once you're inside... It's Narnia in itself. So many people on their way to take the train to Boston, Washington DC, ... And downstairs are what seems a hundred little food courts! Chinese, Thai, Japanese, burgers, milkshakes, Italian, .... But the most important one: CHEESECAKE!
Oh, guys, you don't know what you're missing. That cheesecake was The. Best. E V E R!
This is my: THIS IS SUCH A GOOD CHEESECAKE-face.
Once we were satisfied we met up with our tour guide and walked around the city to the Brooklyn Bridge.It's amazing what the human race could build in 1883. And from afar it doesn't look as amazing as up close. I want to explain to you, but I have no words to express myself so be inspired by these pictures.
Last but not least, we went shopping in SoHo. We had two hours and still had to hurry to get back to the bus on time. There are so many shops from different famous brands. I'm pretty sure you can name a random brand and you sill find it there.
After all the shopping and walking all day, our feet were falling off, so we sat down in a restaurant in Chinatown. Ten people at every table. I laughed until I cried when a friend of mine was looking for flowers in the tea and decided that the guy must've put his whole backyard in that tea.
There you go. A description from one of the best days of my life (minus my feet that are covered in blisters, but it was worth it) and I'm sure there will be many more on my Belo adventure!
Hasta la vista,
Lizzy (Belgium - Flanders)
