New York/New Jersey
As Lionel drove us out of the city, there was a marvellous view of the Manhattan Skyline. I wasn’t expecting it and by the time I’d switched the camera on and pointed it in the right direction, it was gone - my one and only chance!
“Bugger!” I announced. Lionel, noting my disappointment, said that he knew just the place and he took us to Weehauken, NJ.
