The fairly regular trip to Delaware, with a side of New York City! Day 3 - NYC

Friday 21st March

Today the alarm went off at 0440 as we had to get ready and head to Peloton Studios for our 30 min trance ride at 0630.

We got ready and got a cab from outside (to avoid the 30 min walk). It cost us about $21 inc tip and we arrived at the studio at just after 0530.

You have to check in at least 30 mins before class or they give your spot away (as seen yesterday when Rob got into his strength class).

We got ready (I had worn most of my gear but had to change into my shorts) and waited for the line to form.

We got bikes at the front which meant we were likely visible for parts of the ride.

It was essentially a 30 min climb which was challenging at such an early time of the day. I got a shout out for my 1650th ride and there was another person in the class from Dorset which was amazing!

The class was good fun and we queued up for our photo after….mine is shocking!

We got showered and changed and headed back to the hotel for breakfast.

We both had muffins and a hot drink, we were back in our room by 0830 and had a little rest after the early start!

As the sun had come back out we headed to Central Park again and had lunch at the Cafe at the Boathouse. Slightly annoying but we didn’t realise that we could have eaten in the main restaurant 

It was much cooler today and quite windy so we had hats and scarves etc on but we still got a few nice photos.

We needed another rest after lunch (that early start was hard on us!) and then later we headed down 5th Avenue to Times Square where we did a bit of window shopping. We definitely don’t find Times Square as much fun as we used to our our first few trips.

We decided to have dinner at Chick fil a, we weren’t feeling like we wanted a big meal and this was just what we fancied.

We sorted out our luggage (we are loving packing cubes) and got everything ready ahead of our planned flight in the morning.

This was the day of the power failure at Heathrow and when we went to bed on Friday night we weren’t at all sure what would actually happen in the morning.
