New York

Lower Manhattan

Andy and I just spent a week in New York. Did a bit of sightseeing, but mostly shopping :)

Everything just seems sooo much cheaper in New York than in London. So of course I couldn’t resist doing a bit of shopping. And then some more. And then a bit more…

We both treated ourselves to a shiny new iPod touch each. This thing is amazing! When I got it up and running for the first time I just couldn’t put it down. There’s something quite addictive about being able flick through your album connection on the screen with your finger and seeing the album covers float by.

We also did a lot of clothes shopping. So much in fact that I almost did my back in trying to drag my suitcase up the stairs on the way home :-s

Oh, and in between all of the shopping we did manage to do a bit of sightseeing (as you can see from the pictures below, and the gallery here).
