Karen and Andy (diving buddies) came over to visit at the beginning of June. This gave us another oportunity to do loads of cheesy touristy stuff. This included a ride around central park in a horse drawn carriage, a chance to sample lots of fine American cuisine and a trip to watch the Yankees play. The game was great fun, even if none of us knew what was going on - we didn't even realise that it had finished (and that they'd won) until the standium started to empty out! We also took a 'cruise' around New York at sunset which gave us some good pictures. The highlight of their visit though was a day trip to Coney Island, which is a very tacky sea side fun fair park built back in the 1920s. It is also home to the invention of the hot dog and one of the worlds oldest roller coasters and highest big wheel. Although Karen, being 6 months pregnant, could go on many of the rides she came in very handy holding the bags for the rest of us. We did as many rides as our nerves could take (the most frightning part being the age of the rides rather than the speed or height) and then visited the near by aquarium.
