Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Seven)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the last few weeks I've shared all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is a seven part series, a post for each day, plus I'll add the last day to this since it was kinda dull. Sunday was amazing and here's why:

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Seven)

Sunday was possibly my second favourite day (after broadway of course) since this was the day we went to the Central Park Zoo. I love a zoo and this one was particularly fun. Pretty much the whole day was the zoo.

Rather than describe it all, I’m just gonna show you all these cool pics :
a terrible picture of a snow monkey

i like penguins
 And some more animals which I can't entirely remember what they all are:







RED PANDA IS CUTE
Here's some shockingly bad pics of me making frens and enjoying the art outside the penguin enclosure:





And some videos:



We had another walk through central park after, where we spent about half an hour trying to get a picture with Balto, because kids have no respect and kept jumping on him and not waiting for other people to have their turn. I was getting irate and annoyed with the kids, and it took at least three different attempts to get this picture :
It was a super fun day seeing all the animals and walking through the park. It’s expensive but it’s worth it. compared to the Barcelona Zoo, which is 20€ in the middle of their big park, the Central Park Zoo’s $20 fee is much more justified because it’s bigger and they have a red panda which i died over.
We also had a lot of fun in the 'children's zoo' :



I’d definitely recommend the zoo and the park, as a chill and an enjoyable day.

Monday
When Monday came, it was time to go home, but our flight wasn’t til 9pm so we went to IHOP for breakfast:

and walked around Brooklyn and Queens for a bit before getting the Long Island Expressway to the airport. We sat around in the airport for a few hours and that was that, we were on our way home after an amazing week spent in possibly my new favourite city in the world.

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. Saturday was great fun. Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Six) Saturday was another fairly chill day. we went to the New York Public Library first thing, to see the original Winnie the Pooh toys, which were so cute and amazing to see. If you didn’t know, I adore Winnie the Pooh. It was a big, pretty building, in which the A.A. Milne box was the highlight. This was in the children’s library though, and I don’t think children are going to appreciate these as much as adults are. Although, they are trying to keep the stories alive over the generations so maybe they do care. Anyway, that was super cool and I would 10/10 recom...

Curly Hair, What's in There?: LaLaLab

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. LaLaLab So, about a week ago a got an ad on my instagram feed. You know how sometimes you get ads but ignore them, sometimes you get ads that you click on and go through some of the pages of what they're selling, but decide it's too expensive, or you even get to the checkout, only to find the deal isn't what you thought it was? Well, LaLaLab is an ad that I do not regret clicking on. LaLaLab Logo I was intrigued by the idea of cheap photo prints; I think the ad was showing me the photostrips which are something I love, and having small, polaroid-style pictures around my room seemed like a nice way to decorate it; make me feel at home. So, I clicked on the link, uploaded some of my favourite pictures (to be honest I picked a lot from my boyfriend's visit because he'd literally just left P...
