Early is best

We have been up early for the past two days (on the road at 8am) and it is proving to be a wise plan because the street population is low and a lot can be achieved in reasonable comfort. By afternoon it gets busy and by 6pm it is a madhouse of millions!

Today's walking tour included the Chelsea district, the meat packing district (very cool now) and the Hughlibe (very cool use of old elevated rail line).

After the tour we walked up the Highline to 34th St and along the Hudson River Zpatk water front to board the USS INTREPID aircraft carrier which is now a museum. Again, this was also good to visit and for the first time we enjoyed queue jumping because of our NY Passes. Guilty? No. Laughing? Yes. 

We found a great bar for dinner and had planned to join the 'hop on hop off' bus tour of Brooklyn at night, only to find that this doesn't run over Xmas season. Not to worry as we will be in Brooklyn tomorrow for our Gospel tour. We think we will also use our early start strategy for the Empire State and Rockefeller buildings.
