The Village



Last day in New York and indeed of the entire trip. Fortunately we'd left Iain's highlight of the entire vacation til the very end - a visit to John's Pizzeria in Greenwich Village! Well, maybe not quite but it is a requirement on all visits here.

As planned, we spent a relaxing final day browsing around the boutiques of The Village and Soho stopping off for the odd soup and coffee (yep, still freezing). Worth mentioning that we've oddly enjoyed most of our taxi journeys to and from airports and this was no exception with an interesting ride thru Brooklyn (probably less enthralling for our driver on a fixed rate it has to be said).

We decided not to take up the offer of an earlier flight from JFK in order to partake of the pre-flight supper in the BA lounge. Overnight flight to London and connecting flight to Glasgow - usual farce which we won't go into here.
