The Rockfeller Tour - NYC

We finally walk into NBC Studios all excited. Wandering inside we spot the NBC Store where we race in. At this point I lose site of everything around me as I spot the WILL & GRACE DVD stand. Everyone get out of my way. I would shove anything that got in my way by this point. The moment I reach the shelf I grab the DVD's and refuse to let go. They are mine. I need them. They are the only reason for my living. Ok maybe not but I need them ok?

With all the argument I manage to buy the DVDs and stack them in my bag in a mad panic as we have to find the tour desk. After much wandering around we spot the desk to sign up for the tours.

We sign up to do a NBC tour as well as a Rockefeller center tour as they run one after the other.

We grab the tickets and are told to wait near a door in some corner for the tour leader. By this time we are already exhausted from walking and its beyond me why we signed up for a 2 hour walking tour. The first tour that we are doing is the Rockfeller tour.

While we are talking about how tired we are some woman decides to ask us if we are waiting for the Rockfeller center tour. I think she just wanted to confirm she was in the right place for the tour.

Finally the tour leader shows up and hands out a wireless head set to each person to hear what she is talking about rather than her screaming her lungs out in the middle of the street over traffic. This only gets better when this 90 year old grandmother decides to join the tour and she can barely walk one metre let alone the entire walking tour. We had to keep stopping for her along the way. In some ways I felt sorry for her. I can see my grandmother doing this.

At one stage I think I had a minor laughing fit to myself because the tour leader looked like a lunatic talking to herself on the street. I pulled out my camera and filmed her from far. All you see is her lips moving but can't hear her.

The Rockfeller centre tour concentrated on the art, history and architecture of the centre. As interesting as this was, after 40minutes I wanted to slam the tour leader against one of the historical walls. The woman went into indepth analysis of the walls for crying out loud. I just wanted my photos and to get the hell out of there at one stage.

At least the photos look fantastic:
