Ha! Now I am in the Arctic!
So.. not satisfied with freezing to bits in Sharm, I thought I would go one step further and freeze for real in New York… yes that is the New York that is found on the East coast of the USA! Ok not very aquatic, but we thought we would take a much needed break and come here for a holiday and a change of scene for a bit.
I must admit I thought I was going to have fun getting through customs with about 15 Egyptian stamps in my passport not to mention a Russian stamp from my previous career! (What with all the recent stuff going on between Russia and the UK) But the only hassle we got was for not having the exact address of the people we are staying with .. oops.
Of course being used to a nice balmy 27′C or so, it does feel a little on the nippy side.. added to which, they have forecast temperatures of around -4′C later today!! Eeek!
Still it is great to see green grass again and even a bit of a downpour last night (after not seeing rain for the best part of a year). And I can’t wait to do the shopping bit in the city itself tomorrow! Not to mention finding a bit of kit! Anyone know of a good dive shop in NYC??
