Day 30

Another big drive today, from Niagara Falls, Canada to Englewood, New Jersey. These motorways are pretty sweet to drive and even though it was Labour Day Monday the traffic on the roads did not seeme excessive. Both the drives up to and back from Niagara have been pretty scenic as well, heaps of greenery, I suppose the road trip down south will be more desert. So, we were navigating it perfectly till the motorway split just before our exit so obviously we chose the wrong lane and had to get off the freeway cos we woulda been heading to Manhattan, so close and we were lost! Oh, and we had no map...but being the resourceful types we are, we headed in the general direction where we thought we needed to be, then we found the Englewood signs and followed them, luckily we stumbled across the rental car place and we able navigate from there to Tiff and Rudy's (Tiff I know from Brunei when we were youngsters and Rudy is her husband) place.

We were waiting barely 15 minutes when they turned up fresh from a camping trip up by Lake Placid. Greetings were exchanged and then they took us for a little tiki tour to take a peek at a view of Manhattan, got the locals to give us some directions so we could get our bearings of the city too. We pretty much chilled for the rest of the night.
