The hotel has free coffee, so I picked up a cup and headed out for my first full day in New York, The plan in general is to visit the Highline in downtown Chelsea, which is an disused raised railway that is now a 1.5mile walkway with great views. Then Chelsea market, ideal for foodies,…

Day 7 – Hello Big Apple
I’m off to the ‘big apple’ today, hurrah, although I was sad to leave Boston, I think I could live there, it’s lively, friendly, fun, vibrant, hopeful, dynamic and packed with some great restaurants and bars. Perhaps I’ll visit again in the summer and see it without it’s winter coat on. I’m taking the Greyhound…
Day 6 – Tempting the laws of Providence
Well perhaps not, but I am Providence bound. Hello Rhode Island. Checked out of the my hotel to a nice bit of rain, so out came the emergency raincoat, which fits over me and the rucksack. Did the job even though I looked like an idiot. I took a last stroll around central Boston and…

Day 1 – I love Toulouse!
My Bla Bla Car driver Jeremy dropped me at the start of the L1 line on the outskirts of Toulouse rather than his final destination, which saved me an extra 25 minutes journey on the bus 🙂 This was welcome after 3 hours in an overly heated car with 4 strangers. My hotel was right…
