Desirée

Let’s take a stroll in the park
My last day in NYC. My last day in the US for some time. What then could be better than going for a walk in Central Park? :) 
After reorganizing my luggage and having breakfast, I brought my coffee with me and aimed for Manhattan’s oasis.

The Loeb Boathouse. I’ve heard rumors that that’s the restaurant where Princess Madeleine (of Sweden) and her husband Chris O’Neill had their first date ;)

Apparently you can also rent boats from the restaurant. And take selfies with the restaurant in the background ;)

It was actually a busy day in the park, even if it looks like I was almost the only one there. 
It seems like a really popular place to have pic nics, field trips with your school or go for a run or just lay out in the sun. There’s also a bunch of soccer fields and baseball fields. And a zoo and a tivoli and, and, and... a lot of things to do :)

On my way back to the hotel I passed by Trump Tower and some other buildings. 
I had to check out by noon, and after that I made a really, really short trip down to SoHo. However, I grabbed some lunch and then I headed back to the hotel to pick up my stored luggage and wait for my Super shuttle that was gonna pick me up by 2:30pm.

My goodness trafic was soooo bad! It took us 2 hours to get from Manhattan to JFK airport! A trip that normally would take 30 min, is what I’ve heard. I was so glad I’d booked an early shuttle!! There were people in the shuttle that would miss their flights because of trafic. Mine wasn’t until 9:30pm. Well, it was supposed to be 9:30 but it got delayed until 11:30 haha. So yeah, that was a looong wait at the airport. But I mean, I wasn’t bored cause  there’s always something to look at or read or explore. For example, John Krasinski (actor) showed up and I managed to get a picture of his back haha!

When we finally boarded our flight I was out! So tired! And then 7 hours or so later we landed at Heathrow where I had a connecting flight to Stockholm.

 Waiting for my flay away bus to Örebro.
