This morning we packed up our bags for the very last time and went for brunch at a local restaurant (which apparently had featured in Sex and the City!).
Claire and Ben had a cooked breakfast, whilst Nicola finally got her eggs benedict that she had been craving for the past 10 months!
We then jumped on the subway and visited Chelsea Markets, where the Halloween activities and displays were amazing!
We took a walk along the Highline, a nature walk constructed on an elevated old railway line through Lower Manhattan. It was a lovely walk, all be it a little windy.
As it was such a lovely day we decided to walk the remaining 82 blocks up to Claire’s apartment, which proved a leisurely stroll through Times Square, Central Park and the Upper West Side.
The further we walked, the more we were growing conscious of the fact that our trip, and 300 days (10 months) of travelling was quickly drawing to a close!
We went back to Claire’s apartment and grabbed our bags, starting out for the subway, and our final journey – next stop home!
Once at the airport we checked in for our last flights, and sat in departures having a last drink – toasting the amazing time we have had on our journey around the world!
We boarded our British Airways flight to London Heathrow at 10:30pm and settled down to enjoy the in flight entertainment. 5 hours later we were landing at 9am on Monday 1st November into a cloudy and gloomy London. We had a short transfer before flying north to Manchester, where we were greeted by Ben’s family.
We would like to say a big thank you to both our families for their love and support over the past 10 months! And, a fond farewell to our ‘followers’, we hope you have enjoyed the adventure as much as we have!!!!
