On the coldest day in the history of the world, we decided to take a City Tour of New York.
We were on an open-air bus, travelling at high speeds through Manhattan, with our faces stuck frozen in one emotion - horrified. I've never been that cold in all my life! Thank goodness for the paper-thin raincoat the guide handed out, or else we would have frozen to death...
There were two parts to the tour: a city bus ride, and a harbour boat ride.
Here's some pics.
