21:43pm NYC - All aboard, including Ms Lamey, Dr Belliss and the other SJB amigos. Today was exciting, jam packed and exhausting! The highlight of the day from Mr Lawrence's perspective was not once but twice visiting the Apple store - even over his brother David visiting (another devoted Apple eater). Not sure what the fuss was about until coming to the store for myself - impressive is an understatement! Today consisted of participating in a television and film tour aboard 'Studio tours NYC', where the students got the opportunity to get a close look at some familiar locations from our experiences of watching shows like 'Friends' and 'Gossip Girl' - the highlight from a biased perspective was the 'Ghostbusters' fire house - goosebumps from a fanatical fan were clear for all to see much to the amusement of Mr Lawrence, Ms Harper, Ms Lamey and Dr Belliss. Our tour guide Jess was as humorous as she was knowledgeable - well deserved round of applause was given at the climax of an exciting and informative tour around the city's most recognizable media and film locations.
The day ended with a stunning tour aboard Circle line cruises, where we saw the city and other familiar landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty from the tranquil waters of the Hudson and East river surrounding the island of Manhattan, and finally a well deserved feed at the 'Hard Rock Cafe' in a very lively Times Square. Exhausted, we returned to the hotel with the students - whilst Mr Lawrence and i recorded the days events at the Apple store (again). This place is remarkably busy considering im writing this at 9:43pm - i've just discovered its 24 hours! Wow! In the words of Stephen Fry "Only in America" Frank Sinatra said the city never slept. Absolutely! Good night and bring on tomorrow Mr Crafts - NC
