Ted and I walked to the Letterman studio. It was closed on Thursday. We would have loved to had tickets for the show. Dave Letterman is a fellow Hoosier. It was a good walk from our hotel. Two ladies on our tour took one of those bike/rickshaws. The man could not speak very good English and said 3 dollars a block.....then charges them 46 dollars. It was not 12 blocks, no way. They walked back to the hotel. I am thinking they were take in.. The girl in our hotel gift shop said she rode in a cab all the way down town for 17 dollars. We were warned about such things. Live and learn, I guess.
Got to watch the pedicabs. Looks like you had a great visit to New York!

Oh dear they got fleeced and you guys got some walking in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer... I always tell someone when they have been "bad"... God is soooooooooo going to punish you for this. If nothing else, you just know they feel like a snake for being "caught" lol

Every experience is a learning opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as though you've had a good trip, though.
Sorry Letterman is closed on Thursday.
Sounds like an exciting trip. Sorry about the ones that got taken advantage of.
ReplyDeleteIt stinks how tourists get scammed sometimes. I guess you can never be to careful. But your photos are sure making that trip look fun!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy. I hate it when people take advantage of others- Too bad you didn't get to see the Letterman show- xo Diana
