Boyd's blog signing off

Last entry :( I have no idea who read my terrible spelllinvg and not good grammar but I had fun making this blog. It's going to be great going back to the first entry and working my way through it again. I think you can probably tell we had a great time.



Back on Scottish soil :)

Where to next....mmm

Flight back

Bbbbllluuffgggggghhhh... The flight home was long. It shouldn't take over 20 hours to get from Toronto to Edinburgh. I guess a delay in Toronto making us miss our connection in Paris and the Paris plane breaking down could have something to do with it.



Scratching their heads :(

And Laura didn't say much on the flight over. She is gona kill me for this photo, ha!

Last day

Its our last day and our flight leaves at 6 o'clock tonight. I'm not gona waste the day so we are in Toronto and I'm back on the beach first thing. Nice and relaxing :) Laura can't sit still for more than two minutes so shes off, but me, I could laze on a beach for ages.






Ahhh the whole Beach to myself except for some dragon boaters. The sun is shining, Life is good :)

I'm not upset it's our last day. Iv had the most amazing time over here and can't moan about going home as it's been so good for me.

Niagara from the air

On the way back to Toronto we flew past Niagara falls. Very cool to see :)







You can see how built up it is around the falls.

Last day NYC

There is just tooooo much to see when in New York. We went to see US Intrepid. A world war 2 carrier that suffered a kamikaze attack. Pretty cool.







Then back to Guggenheim to meet a couple of people who were on Laura's intrepid trip through the Rockies. Steff and Adam organised for us to go to a comedy show called "comic strip". Really good show, the host was particularly good. Eddie Murphy played there once. Oooooh I hear you say.






We went to a cool wee diner called "Ruby's" and I had the best shake I have ever had. I didn't mind paying the 7 bucks for it either!






And Mayor Goldie Wilson was there. "I'm gona clean up this town!"

iPhone location

The cool thing I noticed with the iPhone is that every time I took a photo it recorded it's location on the maps.






You can see the route we took through the Rockies as you zoom in. Pretty cool, eh!

NYC photos

It's New York and pictures say it all really. Here are a few highlights so far.






Wall street. We went to see "the bodies" exhibition which is not far from here. It's Gunther Von Hagens work and it's amazing to see the human body exhibited this way.







Went on a clipper past liberty.






You can work that one out. The exhibit with 100,000 one dollar bills stapled to a wall was a highlight. Although seeing a real Degas bronze sculpture, original Picasso and Van Gogh was the real highlight :)






Times square






The dinos at the natural history museum are amazing. They have only found about 15 T Rex heads, and that's one of them.






At the MET museum they have basically removed an entire tomb from Egypt and placed it here! That museum is just too big with too much stuff to see.






F.A.O Schwarz Lego Jonny depp. Laura got over excited.






Me with a real life radio city rockette girl! She could pretty much take my head clean off with how high these girls can kick!






Empire was awesome...





...But the top of the rock was even better. You get a great view of empire and just to the right of the empire state you can see them starting work on one world trade centre. Can't wait to see what we get up to tomorrow!
