Day 5 - Moving on up, Moving on out....

Today we moved apartments, and thank goodness, cause frankly another 24 hours without adequate ablutions would just be too much to handle.  This new apartment is the personal apartment of the guy who had rented us the other, he has gone travelling today and moved us into his 'penthouse'.  Don't get me wrong this one is far more spacious, modern and comfortable but probably still not 'penthouse' as to what we'd expect a penthouse to be. But hey, we have beds, central heating, TV, Wifi and an OPERATIONAL TOILET what more could one want?

The day started off with packing up all our belongings, and sorting out our washing.  The laundry was 5 blocks from the old apartment and round the corner from the new apartment. So in we traipse with our 34 pounds of washing at $1 a pound, how could one resist.  We dropped it off at 9am and picked it up all cleaned,  pressed and folded at 5pm, how is that for service? I wish we had a Chinese laundry service next to our house in the 'Gee'.

After dropping our laundry we subway'd it up to 42nd Street and headed to one location with some exhibits.  We all chose different exhibits to see.  Sue & Hazza saw bodies (I think was the pick of them), Peter & Nick saw a Lego exhibit (apparently this was very good), Mack & I saw a pirates and shipwrecks exhibit (very average).

After that we hot footed it via the subway up to the Bronx for a Yankee Stadium Tour. This was quite interesting and I got told off twice for using my flash on my camera. nothing like living on the wrong side of the law! Peter and Sue had to leave the tour early to go do the final apartment move, so after the tour, the boys and I navigated the NYC subway from the Bronx to our new apartment on west 30th Street.  We did make a small stuff up, but worked our way out of it.

Peter and Sue have gone to a Jazz Club and soul food tour up in Harlem tonight.  The boys and I are hanging in the apartment and the boys have each washed their hair tonight (I gather that normally this is a chore they don't enjoy doing).

 

P.S. I hear that tomorrow there may be a possibility of snow.  (It lightly rained all day today)
