Tuesday was our final day and the weather was back to 'normal' ('normal' being 95 degrees and 90% humidity) after yesterdays rain. We took the subway to Brooklyn and then took a walk through chic new real estate hot-spot DUMBO. I'm sure DUMBO stands for something but haven't a clue what. We bimbled along the river and had an ice cream and then decided to get the water taxi back to lower Manhattan but after an hour it still hadn't arrived so we started the climb to the subway and there it was - Grimaldi's. Uber famous pizza joint and not yet full as it was only noon. We slipped into one of the last tables and ordered a large plain pie with half of it covered with anchovies (for Darren). Utterly scrumptious. The walls were plastered with pictures of politicians and movie stars chowing on down on Grimaldi pizza. We will always be indebted to the water taxi's shoddy timekeeping.

We walked the pizza off across the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan and took a quick shufty round Century 21 before heading back to the hotel to collect our bags and make our way to JFK on the subway for the evening flight. We had a great holiday and once again New York and New Yorkers showed us such a brilliant time. See ya next year.
