So I’ve reached the Big Apple at last. I dropped the hire car off at Newark Airport just before noon yesterday (Monday), bought a return ticket for the Newark Express bus into Manhattan ($31), had a bit of lunch first, and went out to the bus stop just before 12:30. Then followed something a bit frustrating. Those buses are supposed to run every 15 minutes, but in the event we waited for 40 minutes before one appeared, and then it needed to pick up more passengers from other terminals so it was about 1:15 before we really got going. But never mind! – I got off the bus outside the New York Port Authority building on W42nd St at just about 2 o’clock.
I’m staying at an Airbnb location which I’ll describe in another post. It’s brilliantly located – on W42nd Street, in fact, just a few blocks from Times Square. Now I’m going to enjoy my stay here.
