Priscilla and the greyhound bus

It's been a busy few days.  Family party on Monday where we got to meet Priscilla's family and eat more yummy food!  Tuesday was a day of culture!  We went to the Biermarkt for tea where we tried some local food and drank Belgian beer.  We then headed off to see Priscilla queen of the desert at the theatre with the cousins.  What a show that was!  We've never seen anything quite like it!  The costumes were incredible and the show was jaw dropping and very funny.

Yesterday we got up at 4:45am and headed to the bus station to get a greyhound bus to New York City.  Our bus was brand new and even had wireless internet!  It took an hour to get everyone on the coach through US immigration as they had to scan all our luggage.  We arrived on Manhatten Island an hour late as the traffic queueing for the Lincoln tunnel was mental!  Eventually after a packed subway ride to Brooklyn, we arrived at our accommodation, got pizza and went to bed.  


Travelling in style!
Now we're off to Central Park where we're going to plan out what to see this week.
