New York

Chris, Oskar and I left Colombo at 3.30am for Dubai (with a two hour stop over) and flew to Zurich. The weather was cold and cloudy and we were tired. Our hotel was a 10 min tram ride from the centre of the city and Oskar had his first ride. We visited our favourite veggie place called Hiltl, they had moved to a new location but were easy to find. Oskar loved the ravioli especially after aeroplane food. He fell asleep on the tram going home. We left for New York the next morning and had a great flight as Oskar had a seat. At JFK it was so cold. We had been at 35C the day before and it was 35F. After a few days it has warmed up considerably and today was 60F. It seemed like high summer with people walking around in Tshirts and strappy sandals. Chris and I attended a Cesaria Evora concert last night (one of the joys of being in New York) and I'm scanning the pages of TimeOut for things to do when my energy levels improve. One outing a day is all I can manage at the minute, so unlike me to need a sleep in the middle of the day.
