New York
22nd July 2019
Our day in New York started at around 8:00. We had to be up early and out of our rooms by 6:30. New York was big and filled with many different buildings that towered over the city. The 9/11 monument was amazing and it was really heartening to see the place in which so many people lost their lives.
Empire State of mind!

Empire State of mind!
Today all the Kent units travelled from our university accommodation to New York City where we completed the Kent monopoly run / uk bingo. My patrol started in Times Square travelling all around the city sightseeing the big tourist attractions like Empire State Building, Madison square park, world trade centre, 5th Avenue. And payed our respects at the 9/11 memorial. After slowly walking around New York in nearly 40 degrees heat, we boarded a ferry to New Jersey so we can travel to West Virginia university for the night before we make our final journey to the jamboree.

My unit woke up early to be ready for 6:30am which was hard for some as we got to Hofstra uni for 11pm the night before. Whilst lugging our luggage around we then went and queued for our breakfast 'to go' given to us by the UK contingent. There was definitely some sweaty bettys and everyone was suffering from the heat. We're currently in McDonald's in New York drowning ourselves in cold drinks to escape the heat whilst trying to complete the UK and Kent contingent monopoly run/ bingo.
