A Quick Break for a Horse and Carriage Ride

Before we knew what had happened it was getting on for midday and we had managed to walk the entire length of Fifth Avenue. We found ourselves up by Central Park and couldn't resist having a quick break from retail research and hopping on board a horse and carriage for a tour round the park.

We paid a few dollars each and the four of us climbed into a carriage and covered ourselves with a warm red blanket. We were then taken round the outskirts of the park with the driver describing various sights and locations that had been used in films.

The park was still covered in a thin layer of snow from a few days previously and looked picturesque as we drove by. It was peaceful and quiet with only a few people walking their dogs or ice skating in the rink in the middle of the park.

The driver was really polite and interested in our visit to the city and gave us some information on the best places to eat and drink out. Before long, we found ourselves back at the point we had left off at and said goodbye before heading back to do some more research.
