NYC - Thursday

A great morning - we got up early, caught the train to the top of Central Park, then jogged / walked back to the hotel, including (most of) a lap around the Reservoir in the middle of the park. Central Park is so beautiful and such a fantastic resource for New Yorkers and visitors to the city. It would have been shorter if we hadn't got lost, but nevertheless an awesome morning out.

Then M went off to the Sex And The City Tour - I couldn't have been any less interested. I took the subway to The Cloisters - a branch of The Met above 190th Street at the very top end of Manhattan. It is in a weird castle-kind-of-building - full of amazing artworks and artifacts from Medieval Europe. After that, headed down to The Met and the European paintings and Islamic art collections. Particularly loved a Zurbaran painting of Jesus on the cross - possibly the most amazing painting I've ever seen.

In the afternoon, shopped at Bergdorf Goodman - incredibly upmarket.

That night, saw Hair. Well-performed, but just couldn't get into it. 60s hippies were so apppallingly self-indulgent and self-righteous.
