An Englishman in New York (via Amtrak)

Oct 13th. After a slightly lethargic start to the day - I do have a moment where I think I may struggle to get my train (me being stupid rather than anything else). I get the train and enjoy the extra comfort (and cost) of this service rather than being packed like a sardine on the Greyhound. I arrive at Penn Station on 34th Street and I have to work out how the subway system works - Not too much of a problem and I have got kind of good at public transport during my time away. The hostel is located on 103rd Street in an Old Hospital. Quite a nice place although 12 beds in a dorm room is a little much. The earplugs will come in useful as usual.
