Hayden Does The World: Central Park

This blog started out as a recollection of my trip around Europe in 2010-11. That trip was inspired by the thought of a reunion with my cousins. However, being the busy adults they were, in the midsts of discussions, they were forced to drop out. Now where did that leave me? Did I still want to go it alone, when that was the issue that had stopped me from travelling all those other times? Seeing their situation, I knew I didn't want to look back and wish that I had travelled when I had the time. So on that rare stroke of decisiveness, I bought my ticket, just in case I reconsidered (which I usually did). And that's all there is to it. This blog is to document the worldly travels of Hayden as he explores the unknown.

Mission: To have the most amazing time seeing the world whilst I'm still young enough to not care so much about the future.

The city where dreams supposedly come true...

Day 13

After a good night's rest on Jen's couch, I was ready to set out and see what NYC had to offer with Nikki as my tour guide. Unfortunately it was a really gloomy day. Low hanging clouds forced us to postpone our trip up to the top of the Empire State Building, with visibility very poor according to the staff working there. I believe the exact words were "you can go up but I don't see the point". Despite the weather, I still had a really full day in terms of sightseeing. First stop was Grand Central Station, which I initially didn't think was that impressive mainly because I wasn't in the grand foyer part. Once I entered the large open area, I understood why it was such a tourist attraction, but honestly, I thought Antwerp's train station was more impressive (one of the largest in Europe).
