One of the first places we visited in New York when we arrived, was Madame Tussauds. We actually hadn’t planned it too much, because Mia gave the ticket for me as a graduation present (Awesome present, by the way!). Most of you remember I visited Madame Tussauds in Berlin back in november 2011, but this one in New York is so much bigger! 9 floors! 

En af de første steder vi besøgte da vi ankom til New York, var Madame Tussauds. Vi havde faktisk ikke planlagt det alt for meget, fordi Mia gav mig billetten i studentergave (God gave, forresten!). De fleste af jer kan nok huske at jeg besøgte Madame Tussauds i Berlin tilbage i november 2011, men denne i New York er meget større! 9 etager! 

Unfortunately, most of the people who are made in there, are American sports stars, politicians, etc. that I know absolutely nothing about, which kind of bummed me out, but there are a lot of wax dolls, and I think it IS worth it to go there! We didn’t take pictures with a lot of them, simply because there were too many and we had to just pick some of them! 

Desværre synes jeg at mange af de dukker der er lavet derinde, er amerikanske sportsstjerner, politikkere, osv. som jeg kender absolut intet til, hvilket jeg egentlig synes var lidt træls, men det er rigtig mange voks dukker og jeg synes at det ER værd at tage derind! Vi tog ikke billeder med mange af dukkerne, simpelthen fordi der var SÅ mange at vi var nødt til bare at vælge nogle få af dem! 

Madame Tussauds in New York can be found on 234 West 42nd Street (Between 8th & 7th Ave).

Today was our actual last day in this really amazing city. We spent it shopping a bit and walking around midtown, and ended it with a bang as we went to Broadway to go meet Raven-Symoné and Jim Parsons (again). We heard that Raven-Symoné (From “That’s So Raven) was really sweet and took pictures with everybody outside, so we decided to go and she was amazingly sweet. She actually let me take another picture, because our first picture together was HORRIBLE! Haha! We just managed quickly to go see Jim Parsons leave the theater, and get a few pictures of him. That was completely okay though, since we met him a few days back too! 

I dag er vores egentlige sidste dag i denne fantastiske by. Vi brugte den på at shoppe lidt og gå rundt omkring i midtwn og vi sluttede den med et bang da vi tog til Broadway for at møde Raven-Symoné og Jim Parsons (igen). Vi havde hørt at Raven-Symoné (Fra “That’s So Raven”) var virkelig sød og tog billeder med alle udenfor, så vi bestemte os for at tage derhen, og hun var rigtig sød! Hun lod mig rent faktisk få taget et nyt billede, fordi det første billede var VIRKELIG dårligt! Haha! Vi så kun lige hurtigt Jim Parsons forlade teateret, og få taget par billeder af ham, men det er helt okay, for ham mødte vi jo også for et par dage siden! 

Tomorrow we have to check out at 11 and fly at 6 in the evening (NYC timezone). We’re gonna travel for a long time, and it’s going to be really rough, but it was all worth it. I am going to miss New York so much, and it’s definitely not the last time I’m going here at all. 

Imorgen skal vi tjekke ud klokken 11 og flyve klokken 6 om aftenen (NYC tidszone). Vi skal rejse i ret lang tid, og det bliver rigtig hårdt, men det har været det hele værd. Jeg kommer til at savne New York så meget, og det er helt sikkert ikke sidste gang jeg er her. 

We didn’t take too many pictures today – We spent most of the day to catch up on some of the shopping we needed to do, such as souveniers. We’re still not completely done yet, and we have to do the last stuff tomorrow. I did manage to use a lot of money on MAC Cosmetics though. Their products are so good (And the people in the store are the sweetest, really. Especially the not-so-straight guy in the store at Times Square, who did our make-up and was just so cute. I swear I could’ve taken him with me home if he’d let me!). Besides that, we had to meet up with Mia Malene’s cousin and her cousin’s boyfriend at Hard Rock Café to have dinner, and they managed to take some photos of Mia Malene and I on Times Square. Had such a cosy night!

Vi har ikke rigtigt taget så mange billeder i dag – Vi brugte egentlig det meste af dagen på at indhente det shopping vi skulle have gjort inden vi tager hjem, fx souveniers. Vi er stadig ikke helt færdige, så vi shopper det sidste imorgen. Jeg fik dog brugt rimelig mange penge på MAC Cosmetics. Deres produkter er så gode (Og ekspedienterne derinde er de sødeste, virkelig. Især den ikke-så-hetereo fyr inde i butikken på Times Square, som lagde vores make-up og var bare såååå sød. Jeg sværger, jeg kunne have taget ham med hjem på stedet, hvis jeg kunne!). Udover det, så mødtes vi også med Mia Malene’s kusine og hendes kusines kæreste til aftensmad på Hard Rock Café, og de tog nogle billeder af os på Times Square. Rigtig hyggelig aften! 

We spent today going downtown (at least it’s all downtown for us, since we live right up against Times Square!). First, we visited Greenwich Village, where Carrie from Sex & The City’s stairs are, and the building from Friends is there too. 

I dag tog vi Downtown (Det er i hvert fald downtown for os, når vi bor lige op ad Times Square!) Først så besøgte vi Greenwich Village, hvor man kan finde Carrie fra Sex & THe City’s trappe, og bygningen fra Venner. 

We then went to Magnolia Bakery on Bleecker Street while waiting for the Marc Jacobs stores to open (since Mia had to spend a looooooot of money there). This Magnolia Bakery is also the one featured in Sex & The City, season 3. I got a really good cupcake this time (Way better than the one I had yesterday!).

Vi tog så hen til Magnolia Bakery på Bleecker Street, imens vi ventede på at Marc Jacobs butikkerne åbnede (fordi Mia skulle bruge maaaaaange penge derinde!!). Denne Magnolia Bakery er også med i Sex & The City, sæson 3. Jeg fik en rigtig god cupcake denne gang (Meget bedre end den jeg fik igår!). 

After that, we went to see the flatiron building, and just take a few pictures of that, before we headed off towards other plans for the day.

Efter det tog vi hen for at se flatiron bygningen, og så lige få taget et par billeder af dén, før vi tog videre til andre planer som vi havde lagt for dagen. 

Next stop was Chinatown, where we HAD to try tasting bubble tea. We ordered iced bubble tea, excited to taste it – and it’s really good! I could easily get addicted! Yummy! It was also really weird to just suddenly walk into a part of New York, where everything was written in Chinese. Crazy.

Næste stop var Chinatown, hvor vi var NØDT til at prøve bubble tea. Vi bestilte noget, meget spændte på at smagte det – og det smager VIRKELIG godt! Jeg tror nemt jeg kunne blive afhængig! Det var også ret mærkeligt at pludseligt gå ind i en bydel af New York, hvor alt lige pludseligt stod på kinesisk. Skørt. 

We then went back to the hotel to relax for about an hour, before we headed off towards Brooklyn Bridge, to see the amazing view over Manhattan skyline at night. This city is so beautiful at night, you have no idea. I think I even told Mia at some point, that the sight was so beautiful I felt like crying. Nothing does the sight of this city justice – I can say that again and again.

Vi tog derefter tilbage til hotellet for at slappe af i en times tid, før vi tog til Brooklyn Bridge igen, for at se det smukke syn over Manhattan skyline om aftenen. Denne by er så smuk om aftenen – I har slet ingen anelse. Jeg tror også at jeg på et tidspunkt fortalte Mia, at synet var så smukt at jeg var lige ved at græde. Ingenting kan gøre denne by til retfærdighed – Det kan jeg sige igen og igen.
