the heli ride was my gf's idea which turned out cool as I dont suppose you would get that kind of view any other way.
I got off the helicopter which went from south sea port and did some shopping and went to the "Bodies" exhibition (that mad german lad that autopsies on the telly with the hat on) it was an amazing exhibition... I then got on the staten island ferry and went out just as the sun was going down and came back to the most amazing view of manhattan... and then went home to bed knackered
I really loved NY and cant believe I will be living there in less than a month!
Love London too and its sense of history... the thing that always strikes me about london is how you can turn one way and see the tower of london and then turn around and see a very modern bustling city its an amazing contrast.
