The jet lag (this time by 6 hours) has the advantage that you can't sleep long ... At 05:00 in the morning I could watch the moon set and sunrise over Brooklyn. The views from the balcony confirm the beauty of New York's residential architecture, and the subway trains passing by make noises as if ...

We have just flown over...

We took off from Berlin and landed at JFK in New York. Nine hours in the air - nothing, and yet we got tired of travelling by underground from the airport to a place in the heart of Brooklyn.
