New York holiday April 2004

Here are some pictures of our New York holiday. The rest of the family persuaded John to go along with it in a weak moment last summer (after a few glasses of wine in the Bar Italia!). We were pretty lucky with the weather; it had been cold and wet before we arrived.

New York is an amazing, exciting city. Not a restful holiday though!
