The Big Apple

The trip to US went well, at least until we landed…
The day began at 2 am where we took a taxi to Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen, from there we flew to Amsterdam before crossing the Atlantic Sea. We arrived to JFK Airport 3 pm American time. But then we sure ran into some trouble…
First of all the police in the airport wouldn’t believe in our intentions, and did a very good job making us nervous.
Then a taxi driver cheated us, which resolved in us getting lost in the middle of Manhattan.
When we finally came to Park Avenue Hotel, the hotel manager started apologizing for the condition of the hotel. Several mattresses were placed outside the hotel, due to a major problem with bugs and cockroaches, delicious
Our room smells like a suicide, the TV doesn’t work, the mattresses are as hard as rock and so on… We haven’t seen any bugs and cockroaches yet, mostly because we doesn’t have the guts to look under our mattresses.

All in all a tough day and Michael talked about taking a plane back to Denmark in the end of the week. But in the evening we decided to take a walk and see the surroundings, as we walked around in the neighborhood we suddenly saw the skyline of New York appear in the horizon. Thousands of small lights being reflected in Hudson River.
A breathtaking sight and motive, that we promise to show you when the weather is good for shooting the perfect picture.
