Strike 1!

Okay, so here we go. Let's start at the beginning.
Tuesday the 11th of July saw us leave Cape Town at around 8pm for London on BA, for our transfer flight to New York.
Wednesday the 12th saw us arrive at JFK at around 11am. After the usual ques and passport checks we were finally on US soil.
We took the subway into Manhattan, where we got off in Chelsea and walked to our accomodation for the next 4 nights, the Chelsea Inn. Fortunately our rooms had working air con, as the weather was extremely hot and humid.

Jason and Pete... you guessed it, on the stairs as well.

Since it was Hennie's first trip overseas, and Petes first trip to New York, we decided to start off by having lunch at Planet Hollywood in Times Square.

After a great lunch of colon clogging burgers and watery American beer we hit the streets to introduce the new New Yorkers to the city's busy and interesting streets.
