New York

I går tog vi så til New York. Først kørte vi til toget, og så tog vi med det ind til byen. Det tog cirka 2 timer hver vej. Så nemt og hurtigt!

Vel ankommet til byen spiste vi allerførst frokost. På Shake Shack. SÅ godt burgere!

Yesterday, we went to New York City. First, we rode bare car to the train, which we took to the city. The trip was about 2 hours each way. So easy and quick!

Well arrived in the city, we forst had lunch. At Shake Shack. These burgeres were SO yummy!

Ved siden af hvor vi var, stod "The Vessel", en høj konstruktion som man nu ikke kan komme op i. Åbenbart var der for mange som hoppede ud....... Men flot var den alligevel!

Next to where we were, we found "The Vessel", a tall construction that you no longer can climb. Apparently too many people jumped from the top...... But it did look impressive! 

Vi gik opad i byen, og da vi kom forbi New York Public LIbrary, gik vi ind og kiggede. En gigantisk bygning! Der er meget smukt indeni, og vi fandt endda en udstilling af "skatte". Blandt andet den originale Peter Plys og hans venner. 

Selve bygningen har vist været kulisse i en del film. Jeg kunne ihvertfald genkende en trappe!

We walked uptown, and when we passed the New York Public LIbrary, we went inside for a look. A gigantic building! It's so pretty inside it, and we even found an exhibition of "treasures". For instance the original Winnie the Pooh with his friends!

I think the building has been in many movies. I found a staircase I recognized! 

På vej videre var vi forbi "Ole & Steen", den amerikanske udgave af Lagkagehuset, for at købe et par rugbrød. Vi fik også gigantiske flødeboller, som smagte godt men var lige rigeligt store. Større er ikke altid bedre!

Vi skulle videre op til Roosevelt Island, hvor man kan komme til med svævebane! Bare 3 dollars kostede det hver vej, og det var altså sjovt at hænge over vejen og bilerne og floden!

On the way, we passed "Ole & Steen", the American version of "Lagkagehuset", a Danish bakery, to buy some rye breads. We also had gigantic "flødeboller" that tasted good was were a bit too big. Bigger is not always better!

We were continuing up to Roosevelt Island by cable car! It cost only 3 dollars each way, and it was so much fun hanging over the road and cars and river! 

På øen er der en ruin af et forladt hospital hvor man behandlede kopper. Det var meget smukt og lidt spooky, faktisk. Ude på øen holdt man de kriminelle og de syge. Kan ikke have været sjovt at blive indlagt der!

On the island, there are a ruin of an abandoned hospital, build for treating smallpox. It was so beautiful and a bit spooky. On this island, they kept the criminals and the sick. Can't have been fun to be admitted there! 

Der var også den fineste udsigt over Manhattan! Næsten som at sidde på et skib. Jeg fik strikket lidt på den igangværende strømpe. 

We also found a very pretty view over Manhattan! Felt almost like sitting on a boat. I knit a bit on the sock I brought. 

Derefter var vi faktisk ved at være temmelig trætte...... Vi spiste aftensmad på Katsu-Hama, en dejlig japansk restaurant, og bagefter gik vi gennem menneskemylderet på Times Square til toget. 

Det var dejligt at være i New York, men det er nu også dejligt at vågne i Doylestown!

Afterwards, we were getting quite tired..... We had dinner at Katsu-Hama, a wonderful Japanese restaurant, and afterwards, we walked through the crowds at Times Square to get to the train. 

It was wonderful being in New York, but I also really like waking up in Doylestown!
