Woke up a few times last night, noticed Paula was awake too. Eventually, Tain sent a WhatsApp, revealing that we were all awake.
We put the TV on, ending up on NBC’s today show. Having seen it loads before, seen all the people outside the window, etc. It was really weird seeing it, having actually walked past that window just a few hours before and knowing that all that was happening just down the street.
Once everyone was ready, we headed to the subway (via at&t) and got a metrocard, after some difficulties for Acloud and Allan we ventured down to the platform and made our way to the Bronx Zoo.
We had talked about how long it’d take, we knew it was a big zoo, but even taking that into account, we figured we’d be done by 3 at the latest. On the subway, we were treated to a crazy guy, full of conspiracy theories.
“Why did the Japanese stop at Pearl Harbour? They wouldn’t! They would have carried on across the USA, bombing the lot – It was an inside job.”
We got there about 11ish and didn’t leave until around 4:30 – the zoo closed at 5.
It was a really nice zoo, all the animals seemed happy enough, with the possible exception of the of the polar bear… Maybe the giraffe that was licking the wall, but I’m choosing to believe that it was sending some secret messages, he was being super sly about, reeall cool.
We had planned to go to a Game of Thrones exhibit after the zoo, but we were crazy tired, so ended up back at the hotel, lazing around a bit. After some organising for tomorrow and Friday we headed to the bus station, then Hard Rock.
Tonight marks the second time we’ve shown up to a restaurant – a group of 8 people – and been given a table pretty much right away. How?
We all started fading toward the end of the meal and so headed back to the hotel after. Early morning tomorrow.
