N.Y. Diary 28/10 -060

Finally here, in the hotel room. A pretty tiring and boring day yesterday, so I didn’t have time to write. Anyway, everything happened as we had planned. We took the plane to London Heathrow (it was pretty delayed while we were in the air, so it took roughly 2h 10min). When we arrived we looked around in the various stores that could be found there. Didn’t buy any still camera though, but it really doesn’t matter.

The plane left at about half past two in the afternoon, and we had some really comfortable seats which would have made it really easy to sleep if it wasn’t for the fact that the whole flight was in broad daylight. I watched “Devil Wears Prada” (pretty good film, not really my cup of tea, but good just to keep time passing), and “The Break-Up” (a very nice surprise, really funny dialogue in it). I managed to get about 30min of sleep, and then I basically just sat around reading various newspapers and books I brought from home and bought at the airport.

We arrived sometime around six or seven PM local time, and we took a nice car to our hotel. The car was a Lincoln, with really good backseat, suspension and much more…I really didn’t expect that from an American car! Guess I’ll have to lay off on the prejudices then. When we came to the hotel I managed to find a Wireless Access point that belonged to the hotel, and was free to all guests. It has about 20mbit/s, so it’s faster than being at home.

Oh, I managed to film a whole hour of footage yesterday so I’ll just have to edit it, and the first day of the video diary is completed. Hopefully you’ll like it, and I’ll write more probably this evening!
