YiNYC – Surreal

posted by on 26/03/2012

Gah, apologies for the delayed post. Life over here has been surreal so far – everything feels like a scene out of a movie/TV show. Even the part of BK we’re staying in, NoStrand, the area around here isn’t the most visually pleasing but so much personality. The people are a mixture of super nice and crazy (as in don’t look at them and walk past) haha. I’m not going to break down what we did each day, just a tad too long! I want my photographs to do the talking – hop on after the cut to see our journey through BK, Queens and Manhattan.

Like I mentioned in my lift-off post – I’ll be keeping tabs on my movements throughout this trip on my Nike+ FuelBand. The day prior to this (flight day) wasn’t the best in terms of FuelPoints, though I managed to garner over 2500 points and hit my target – still wanted to break the 3000 just by walking. So as soon as we landed and unpacked – left for dinner around 11PM. Yes that’s right, stayed out till 4am. Went bed at 5am. That’s 10am UK time so we were up for approximately 26 hours which helped us resist the jetlag. With that and all the rest of yesterday’s movements in 3 different NY districts – I managed to conjure up 4500+ points and double my target. 16,000 steps! MADNESS.

See detailed breakdown here. Enjoy the photos.

You know you have to start the day of with Dunkin’ Donuts. Never again though – the calories are INSANE.
