The journey back

To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much of the journey home! I was asleep for most of it! On Monday morning, when we finally reached Nottingham after a long coach ride from Heathrow Airport, I collapsed into my bed and did not emerge for many hours! All in all our trip to New York was a fantastic and informative experience! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Home Bound

We wer instructed to be back at the hotel for 4pm so we decided to come back a bit early and get changed and freshened up for the long journey home.

Sunday

On Sunday, we felt we had covered the brief we had been asked to complete so we decided to take another look around the shops to mentally reinforce the conclusions we had written about them. We also visited Barneys and Bloomingdales and observed the impressive window displays.

Reviewing our work

When we had travelled back from Staten Island to our hotel, we decided to get some pizza for dinner and sit down and review our work. We went over everything we had seen on Fifth Avenue that day and wrote down the crucial points as it was not always possible to do it in the shop.

The Statue of Liberty

After we had explored Central Park, we decided to get the subway down to the bottom of Manhattan and get the Ferry across to Staten Island so we could sail past the Statue of Liberty. I was surprised at how small it is!

Central Park

After our research, we decided to go for a walk through Central Park. It as a beautiful sunny day although it was very cold. There were lots of horse drawn carriages going through the park and there were people ice skating on the frozen lake!

Saturday research

After breakfast on Saturday, we decided to go to Fifth Avenue and take a better look at the high end stores like Louis Vuitton, Prada and Tiffany's. We found the service in the High end stores to be a lot better than the service in the lower end shops.
