NY Day 6: NY Rocks
More f*cking rain in big dollops. Another museum, this time the American Natural History. Pain in the arse to find a subway station for the right line but at least it was straight there. First rock of the day was the museum's meteorite which was so heavy (100 tonnes) it needed its own deep foundations for support. Other big stuff was a huge real scale model of a blue whale, an Easter Island head plus lots of great tribal masks and interesting animal scenes.
The weather had finally lifted with some clear skies so we ventured back to the top of 5th Avenue. More Tiffany shopping for Kerry and I managed to get my sky high view fix on top of another rock - Top of the Rock - the Rockafeller building. As well as the views, a Perspex lift roof added to the fun.
Arrived at the airport to find the same Swindon couple we'd met originally who had the very same flight as us so we swopped stories whilst waiting for the delayed flight.
