Good morning from New York

The view from our hotel this morning.

Staying at the Hilton in the fashion district. Yesterday’s flight over was fantastic: limitless food and hilarious interactions with the cabin crew. We were spoilt rotten. Thank you, British Airways! When not shovelling food and drink into my face, I enjoyed Cloud Atlas. Personally, I loved it – but I can see how it would annoy and/or confuse many people.

It took 30mins to get from the plane (JFK) to the taxi, which must be some kind of record. Zipped into Manhattan, unpacked and…I crashed on the bed. It was after 2am according to my body clock, and even though I’d spent most of the previous 12 hours either sitting or lying down, I was still shattered.

Up and about now and ready to get out for a wander.
