[08:21 EST]
Back from another nice breakfast with a great view out over the city. There was some low cloud which meant we weren't blinded by the sun rise. Today's plans include our 5pm Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show (featuring the Rockettes). We also plan to have a couple of trips around the city on the tour buses that travel around the streets.
I've checked the FedEx tracking and my camera is supposed to be delivered by 3pm today!
[22:55 EST]
My camera arrived at 9:45 this morning - all in working order!
It even had a nice note in the box from the Four Seasons Hotel.
Today we wanted to make use of the City Bus loops that run around the city. So after breakfast we were down to the Port Authority Bus terminal to pick up the Uptown loop bus. This is the last loop that we hadn't done on our previous visits. We were on the bus and heading north to Harlem at 11am.
It was a really sunny day today, coupled with my returned camera meant that I was snap happy today (see slideshow below!).
It was very cold on the bus though, time to dig out the gloves.
We travelled up the edge of Central Park, through Harlem, then back down the edge of Central Park where we got off and headed down to the Rockefeller Plaza to pick up our tickets for the Radio city show.
We grabbed them but still had about 2 hours to kill. So we bought a ticket to the Top of the Rock where we spent a hour wandering around on the 68th floor. Sadly we had to leave before the sun set, but then it was getting very busy up there.
Finally it was time to return to the Radio City show. The last time we were here, our seats were right at the back of one of the upper circle areas, everything was a dot. However, this time we'd nabbed seats at the front of the lower circle, much better seats.
It was a great Christmassy show as usual - including a novel couple of 3D segments that actually worked really well (glasses included).
Out after the show we returned to the Top of the Rock to do the night visit. We'd bought a 'sun and stars' ticket that allowed us to do two visits in one night.
It was another clear day with great views.
We then decided to walk back to the hotel via Times Square which was as busy as usual.
Arrived back in the hotel, grabbed a quick bite to eat then collapsed knackered in the room.
