New York, New York – the last stop on our incredible 2015 holiday.
Hard to believe it was this time last year we were finishing up the best holiday we’ve had in years. It was also our last few days left with our super awesome travel buddies Jess and Ryan – so we wanted to make sure we made the most of it.
Here are our highlights from in and around the big apple.
Last but certainly not least on our amazing holiday was Brooklyn, New York! Landing late from Canada we arrived at our Williamsburg Airbnb to be reunited with our excited travel buddies Jess and Ryan. Equally excited we could not wait to explore our super cool borough of Brooklyn.
In no particular order here’s a few highlights from in and around Brooklyn.
With help again from Mark, here’s his last US/Canada post for the breath taking Moraine Lake, Canada.
When we first started planning for our US trip, Canada was barely on the long list. It made the shortlist only due to it’s proximity to Portland. And when the final list was decided and we were still hungry for the maple country, we had barely even considered what we might do once we arrived.
For the Canada part of our 2015 holiday I’ll hand over the writing again to my hubby Mark. For previous posts on our awesome holiday click here.
As it is our fifth year in Melbourne you could forgive us for bragging occasionally about just how special our adopted city really is. Melbourne consistently ranks in the top 5 for most liveable city in the world, and it is, well just great – in every way a city could be great (except for beaches). But if we ever had a nemesis, a challenger to that ‘liveable crown’, that nemesis would be Vancouver.
I couldn’t help but have the Portlandia theme song repeating over and over in my head as we cruised into the ultra cool city of Portland, Oregon.
As we made our way from Portland airport, our super friendly Uber driver enthusiastically told us that Alberta Arts District was an awesome neighbourhood, and lucky, because that would be our home for the next four days. He gave us advice as to what to check out and after dropping our bags off at our AirBnB we went out to explore the neighbourhood.
